Description:
Of the many controversies which have characterized postwar Yugoslav historiography, few have inflamed the passions as much as that concerning British relations with the non-Communist resistance movement (the Chetniks ) which emerged after the Axis invasion of Yugoslavia in April 1941. This work seeks to show how and why the British came to offer their backing to the leader of this movement, Colonel Draza Mihailovic. It also examines why British confidence in Mihallovic was subsequently eroded, to the point where serious consideration was given to transferring support to his avowed enemies, the Communist-led Partrisans.
