The world was mired in the Second World War when Howard Fast wrote The Incredible Tito.
Upon the book’s publication in 1944, there was still no united
Yugoslavia, the Axis controlled most of Europe, and D-Day was only in
the planning stages. In the Balkans, Tito was a beacon of hope against
the advancing Nazis. He led a force of resistance fighters that
bedeviled the occupying German army throughout Slavic regions and
empowered people’s committees to act as local government in all
liberated areas. For observers on the political left, Tito seemed
uniquely poised to unite the East and West against fascism—once and for
all.
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Howard Fast including rare photos from the author’s estate.
