Description
"The first big hole in the iron curtain was cut in 1948 by Marshal Tito and the Yugoslav people when they walked out of the Cominform, defying Stalin, the Red Army, and Moscow's secret police. This was the first rebellion of a Soviet satellite state, It is not likely to be the last. Here is the only authentic inside story of this decisive moment in modern history, told in the context of Tito's life, with about forty percent of the text in Tito's own words, recorded by one of his closest show more friends. Here is the story of Tito's personal relations with Stalin, how the leaders of the Communist world would drink and talk and joke with each other, how Stalin felt about the Communists in Greece and China, the true stories of Dimitrov, Gomulka, Anna Pauker and the fierce struggle for power which goes on among the rulers of the Communist world. No other man has seen this world on the top level and survived to tell about it. It is told here in the exciting story of the life of an itinerant machinist who wandered around Europe, Russia and the revolutionary movement until Hitler's attack on his country in 1941 threw him into leadership of the Yugoslav Partisan Army. He emerged from the war as one of the strong men of the Communist world and of Europe - a man honored by both Stalin and Churchill. Here is the story of his nation's courageous break with Stalinism, and its still-continuing fight for independence. This man is hated and feared by Stalin because he has followed a road away from Moscow which is being closely studied by other national leaders in Eastern Europe and in Asia."--inside jacket flap. show lessTags
