Depeše o slobodi: Zapisi o 37 Titovih ratnih dana

Depeše o slobodi: Zapisi o 37 Titovih ratnih dana focuses on a limited period in Josip Broz Tito’s wartime activities. Journalist and author Ljuba Vukmanović approaches the subject through the wartime experience of a leader whose military and political roles shaped the Yugoslav Partisan movement.

Rather than attempting a comprehensive biography, the book offers a concentrated perspective on wartime leadership, placing Tito within the circumstances of the liberation struggle. The dispatches highlighted in its title evoke the importance of communication during war, when information, orders and political messages linked distant areas and different levels of command.

As a work of Yugoslav historical writing from the 1980s, it can also be read as evidence of how Tito’s wartime role was presented during that period. It will interest readers of military biography, researchers of political memory and collectors of Second World War publications.

Its concise scope and photographic material make it a useful supplementary volume within a broader collection on Tito, the Partisan movement and Yugoslav history.
