Overview
This book sets out to examine the policy of the British Foreign Office towards Yugoslavia and the Tito Government during this important period. Pivotal to this policy was the relationship between Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union, and its effects on Soviet-Western relations in general. Foreign Office policy towards Yugoslavia is also explored in the context of Anglo-Yugoslav relations, and the degree to which Britain's need for American financial support, as well as American commitment to the reconstruction of Western Europe, limited Britain's freedom of action.Editorials
Booknews
Lane's (politics, The Queen's U., Belfast) investigation into British Foreign Office policy towards Yugoslavia during the pivotal World War II and Cold War years sheds substantive light not only on British policy, but also on the delicate interplay between the Soviet Union and Tito, and US commitment to reconstruction in Western Europe. The volume clarifies much speculation about Tito's communist alliances, his break with the Soviet Union, the support offered to him by the Americans, and the strategic stability Yugoslavia supplied in a notoriously volatile historical period.
