Publisher: Wiley 2009 | 336 Pages | ISBN: 0470084561 | PDF | 3 MB
An in-depth look at a crucial, little-known World War II episode?the failed Allied policy in Yugoslavia and its ramifications in the Balkans and beyond.Winston Churchill called it one of his biggest wartime failures?the shift of British and U.S. support from Yugoslavia's Dra?a Mihailović and his royalist resistance movement to Tito and his communist Partisans. This book illuminates the complex reasons behind that failure through the incredible story of what has been called the greatest rescue of Allied airmen from behind enemy lines in World War II history, a rescue executed, incredibly, with minimal official support from the United States and none such support from Great Britain.
