Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

In the aftermath of the dramatic Communist partisan victory that gave them control of Yugoslavia in October 1944, Milovan Djilas became one of the three aides closest to Tito; he witnessed revolutionaries becoming rulers, conferred with Stalin, and confronted him at the historic meeting that led to the break with Moscow. Ten years later, because Djilas criticized the misuse of power that led to the rise of a 'new class' and championed the cause of democratic socialism, he was expelled from the Central Committee and imprisoned for nine years. Djilas's inside account of a revolution gone awry, of a dictatorship whose power ethic led it to seize control not only of minds but of bodies as well, is a painful, personal book of bitter truths forged from the struggle to remain true to a revolution that was cruelly untrue to him.

About the Author

Until his expulsion from the Communist party in 1954, Milovan Djilas was a vice-president of Yugoslavia and one of Tito's three highest aides. He was imprisoned by the Yugoslavian government from 1957 to 1961 and was returned to prison in 1962 because of the publication of Conversations with Stalin. Writing both in prison and out, he produced several important and popular critical studies of communism as well as short stories, novels, and personal memoirs. He died in 1995.

5.0 out of 5 stars Understanding of what a nation suffers to be free.
Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2018
Verified Purchase
I could not put this book down and as I neared its conclusion, felt as if I never wanted it to end. It was a personal journey about life with Tito as one of his closest administrators and the author's ultimate falling out with Tito and the communist party. I felt I was accompanying him through the treachery he endured because of his moral obligation to himself to be free to think and speak independently, which led to his demise. In lieu of his ultimate downfall, he drove steadfast through the dangers of dissension and dissolution with communist theories. His was a life of moral struggles. This book led me to the need to read his other books, as well as those written by his cohorts. The history of Yugoslavia's involvement in WW2 is much under documented. It suffered through much to become an independent nation, due to the heavy hand of Stalinism.
