Rob McCormick is Associate Professor of History at the University of Carolina, USA, and Chair of the Department of History, Political Science, Philosophy and American Studies.'Wars seldom end neatly and without unexpected consequences. This was certainly true of World War II. Europe, where the war began, soon was divided by Cold War ideology. From a region of Europe of limited diplomatic interest to the United States, the Balkans after the war becae part of the front line of the West's anti-communist crusade. The heart of this work is the intersection of ethnic politics in a small state with the international and domestic political interests of a great power. The work focuses on the affairs of a notorious political extremist in Yugoslavia and a multinational state created only at the end of World War I. It provides a detailed and vivid account that weaves local Yugoslav politics with the interests of the United States in a thought-provoking narrative of "real" state power versus the ideals of human justice.'
