Tito and the Rise and Fall of Yugoslavia

Tito led the partisan fight against the murderous Utasha leader Ante Pavelic, and with the help of the Red Army took Belgrade in 1944. After the war his uncomfortable relationship with Communism led to a break with Stalin in 1953 and the pioneering of the "non-aligned" world between East and West. This is an account of Tito's part in Yugoslavia's history. The book goes on to ask if it was Tito's death in 1980 that led to the crumbling of Yugoslav unity, or whether it was his purging of the party while in power that led to its ultimate destruction.
