Potpisano Tito
M. Stefanović's book "Signed: Tito" (1980) is a collection of documents, records and reflections created in the year of Josip Broz Tito's death, illuminating his historical signature and statesmanship.
The non-fiction work Signed: Tito (Potpisano: Tito), authored by M. Stefanović and published in 1980, offers an emotional and documentary-style reflection on the life and work of Josip Broz Tito, appearing in the year of his passing. Written at a time when Yugoslav society faced its most significant political and emotional turning point since the Second World War, the book seeks to synthesize the vast legacy Tito left behind, using his signature as a symbolic framework and a testament to his historical decisions. Through a blend of journalistic narrative, political commentary, and primary documents, the author traces key moments in Tito’s career as a statesman—from the creation of a new Yugoslavia and pivotal historical junctures during war and peace, to the establishment of the country’s unique position on the international stage. Here, the "signature" takes on a metaphorical meaning: it represents an enduring imprint left upon the lives of millions, national borders, laws, and the entire social system of self-managing socialism. The book serves as a significant memorial and a firsthand account of its era, capturing the pulse of Yugoslav society during a period of collective farewell and profound reflection on a future without the central figure of the region’s modern history.
