Few figures have dominated a nation's destiny as much as Marshal Tito
of former Yugoslavia. For nearly thirty years he held together
mutually hostile religious groups in a deeply divided country, but his
death in 1980 rekindled centuries-old hatreds and by 1992 Yugoslavia
ceased to exist. In this revealing biography, Richard West questions
the full impact of Tito's reign of power and his implicit
responsibility for the ensuing violent, bloody war in Bosnia.
'Excellent ... I recommend his book for those who already know about
Yugoslavia and want food for thought about the future.' David Owen,
_Sunday Times
_'Admirable ... Carefully researched and extremely readable.'
_Literary Review
_'A passionate book, in which West's historical sense is interlaced
with his own very intimate knowledge of Yugoslavia from the late 1940s
on and of the poignancy of [subsequent] events.' Fergus Pyle, _Irish
Times
_'Masterly'. _Glasgow Herald_
