Synopsis

An overview of Yugoslavia from its creation during the United Nations negotiations with Tito during World War II through its breakup in the Balkan war, this work examines the political history of this deeply divided state. Providing not only an in-depth summary of the conventional view of Yugoslavian history, but also laying out one of the first written accounts of the negotiations between Tito and the United Nations, this study adds a number of original historical arguments. What lies ahead for the troubled Balkan region and what responsibilities the United States and Germany have in restoration and regulation are also discussed.
