Reviews for Tito: A Biography
'This is a fair account of Tito's political life which works well as a history of Yugoslavia since its foundation from the Second World War to the death of Tito ... the book has the great merit of being judicious and balanced.' - Donald Sassoon, Professor of Comparative European History at Queen Mary College, University of London
