This review is from: Britain, Mihailovic, and the Chetniks, 1941-42 (Hardcover)
Trew has produced a thoroughly researched monograph on a little known episode in World War 2, when the British supported the Yugoslav forces (Chetniks) led by Mihailovic. These were the bleak years for the Allies, and Britain's actions might be understood in part by remembering this.The events in Yugoslavia during those years are shown by Trew to be very tangled. Bitter struggles between the Chetniks and the Ustashe, who were the Croat fascists. Plus there was often conflict with the Muslim Bosnians and with the neighbouring Italians, who eyed parts of northern Yugoslavia. Trew's book will be valuable to those wanting original source documents for the times. By way of comparison, there are 200 pages of text, followed by 130 pages of references, where these are often original sources. |
