In den WarenkorbTrade paperback. Zustand: Good. x, 470 pages. Illustrations. Biographical Notes. Index, Front cover has a small scuff near center and a large scuff at bottom right. Milovan Djilas (12 June 1911 20 April 1995) was a Yugoslav communist politician, theorist and author. He was a key figure in the Partisan movement during World War I…I, as well as in the post-war government. A self-identified democratic socialist, Djilas became one of the best-known and most prominent dissidents in Yugoslavia and all of Eastern Europe. Djilas helped Josip Broz Tito to establish the Yugoslav Partisan resistance and became a guerrilla commander during the war following Germany's attack on the Soviet Union on 22 June 1941 (Operation Barbarossa) when the Communist Party of Yugoslavia's (KPJ) Central Committee decided that conditions had been created for armed struggle. Derived from a Kirkus review: In the third volume of memoirs by the celebrated Yugoslav dissident, a Communist revolution is carried out under cover of resisting the invader--only to raise, in triumph, the specter of disillusion. In July 1941, upon the German invasion of Russia, Djilas is sent to his native Montenegro to organize the stirring that is not yet an uprising, much less a movement to liberate territory. ("All official historiography--and ideological ones in particular--can visualize events only as something conceived much earlier in the minds of the leaders.") But one assault provokes another in fractured Yugoslavia; and for the next four years, whether fighting with the Partisans or at headquarters with Tito, Djilas faces the decisions imposed by a savage and tortuous civil war within-a-war. Will it advance the cause to raze a hostile village, execute a defector, seize a peasant's cow--or to spare them? (And will the decision be challenged by headquarters?) How shall the Soviets be mollified, the Allies misled? Fragmentary at first, the narrative gathers force as Partisan strength mounts (under Communist leadership "whose concern for all didn't yet reveal a desire to control everything") and the conflict coalesces. A renewed German onslaught splits the Partisan forces; to escape, Djilas' group is obliged, against tradition and conscience, to abandon the gravely wounded. Italian prisoners in Partisan service are shot by captors who had fondly given them Yugoslav nicknames. Officers and men grow so close "that the Communist form of address 'comrade' disappeared from usage as something official and superimposed." In this extremity Djilas has a vision of Christ, "the one from the frescoes and icons"; and from this abyss he ascends to the moment when--a bare two months later--"We were on free territory which stretched across the Sava to Slovenia--even across the Italian border and as far as Hungary and Austria." There will be sharp dealings--not least, with Stalin--and euphoric celebrations ("The manipulation of fervor is the germ of bondage") but only a few moments' regret for the breakup of his marriage, the deaths of two brothers and a sister. Djilas--the rebel intellectual with his sights on history--has produced the closest, shrewdest, most shaded account yet of what is widely regarded as a classic resistance movement.

In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Fair. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. [10], 211, [3] pages. Selected Biographical Notes. Index. The dust jacket has front and rear flyleaf missing and wear along edges. Milovan Djilas (12 June 1911 - 20 April 1995) was a Yugoslav communist politician, theorist and author. He was a key figure in the Partisa…n movement during World War II, as well as in the post-war government. He fought with the Partisans to liberate Belgrade from the Wehrmacht. With the establishment of the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia, Djilas became Vice-president in Tito's government. Djilas later claimed to have been sent at that time to pressure the Italians to withdraw from Istria. Djilas was sent to Moscow to meet Stalin again in 1948 to try and bridge the gap between Moscow and Belgrade. He became one of the leading critics of Stalin's attempts to bring Yugoslavia under the control by Moscow. Later that year, Yugoslavia broke with the Soviet Union and left the Cominform, ushering in the Informbiro period. A self-identified democratic socialist, Djilas became one of the best-known and most prominent dissidents in Yugoslavia and all of Eastern Europe. Over several decades, he critiqued communism from the viewpoint of trying to improve it from within; after the revolutions of 1989 and the violent breakup of Yugoslavia, he critiqued it from an anti-communist viewpoint of someone whose youthful dreams had been disillusioned. On 1956, Djilas was arrested for opposing the Yugoslav abstention in the United Nations vote condemning Soviet intervention in Hungary and his supporting the Hungarian Revolution. He was sentenced to three years imprisonment. He would be imprisoned again in April 1962 for publishing abroad Conversations with Stalin, which became another international success and which Djilas personally considered his greatest work. Conversations with Stalin was written in 1961 after his release, although it had long been on his mind before. For Conversations with Stalin, Djilas was sentenced in August 1962 to another five years - or fifteen, added to the earlier punishments - allegedly for having "revealed state secrets", which he denied. The book's references to Albania and its possible union with Yugoslavia were considered embarrassing by Yugoslav communist leaders. On 31 December 1966, Djilas was granted amnesty and freed unconditionally after four years in jail. He was never to be imprisoned again. He continued as a dissident, living in Belgrade until his death on 20 April 1995. Conversations with Stalin is a historical memoir by Yugoslav communist and intellectual Milovan Djilas. The book is an account of Djilas's experience of several diplomatic trips to Soviet Russia as a representative of the Yugoslav Communists. Writing in hindsight, Djilas recounts how his initial enthusiasms and feelings of ideological and ethnic brotherhood towards the Russian Communists were replaced by feelings of bitterness and disappointment following his repeated confrontations with the brutal, despotic reality of the Soviet regime under Joseph Stalin. Other figures which appear in the memoir include Josip Broz Tito, Aleksandar Rankovi , and Edvard Kardelj of Yugoslavia, Vyacheslav Molotov, Ivan Stepanovich Konev, and Nikita Khrushchev of the Soviet Union, and Georgi Dimitrov of Bulgaria. Milovan Djilas was one of four senior members of Tito's government until his expulsion from the Yugoslav Communist party in '54 & eventual imprisonment on political charges. He wrote Conversations With Stalin in '61, between arrests. The book is a diary of his three voyages to Moscow in '43, '44 & '48. Djilas, memories no doubt leavened by hindsight, titles the three meetings "Raptures", "Doubts" & "Disappointments". As these names indicate, the book chronicles his growing disillusionment with Soviet-led socialism. Djilas was an educated man, a sophisticated thinker & a writer. So that when we read passages in the "Raptures" section such as, "My entire being quivered from the joyous anticipation of an imminent enc.
