Short biography
[from Barnes & Noble website]
David Martin (1914-1995) was a former foreign policy analyst for Senator Thomas J. Dodd of Connecticut.

Born in Wiarton, Ontario, he worked as a freelance journalist in London in the early years of WWII. His articles for the British weekly Tribune on the civil war in Yugoslavia, and his support of Draza Mihailovic, the leader of the Chetnik forces fighting Tito's Partisans and the Germans, caught the attention of two writers who were championing Mihailovic's cause, George Orwell and Rebecca West. He joined their group and continued to support Mihailovic, who was eventually captured and executed by Tito.

Martin wrote three books on Yugoslavia: Ally Betrayed (1946), Patriot or Traitor: The Case of General Mihailovich, and The Web of Disinformation: Churchill's Yugoslav Blunder (1990).
