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.

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
