Reviews"A fascinating, highly readable and groundbreaking contribution to our understanding of Tito, suggesting that his power and ambitions in the 1940s stretched much wider than has been assumed previously."-- Marko Hoare, Associate Professor of Political Science and International Relations, Sarajevo School of Science and Technology, and author of The History of Bosnia "A compelling, provocative, and polemical examination of Tito's tenure and his position within the Cold War political (dis)order."-- Jasmin Mujanovi?, Assistant Professor of Political Science, Elon University, and author of Hunger and Fury: The Crisis of Democracy in the Balkans, "A fascinating, highly readable and groundbreaking contribution to our understanding of Tito, suggesting that his power and ambitions in the 1940s stretched much wider than has been assumed previously."-- Marko Hoare, Associate Professor of Political Science and International Relations, Sarajevo School of Science and Technology, and author of The History of Bosnia "A compelling, provocative, and polemical examination of Tito's tenure and his position within the Cold War political (dis)order."-- Jasmin Mujanovi?, Assistant Professor of Political Science, Elon University, and author of Hunger and Fury: The Crisis of Democracy in the Balkans "Stripping away the nostalgia surrounding Tito, this meticulously researched book offers an unsparing re-appraisal of his life and contribution to the revolutionary climate of the twentieth century. While insightfully analyzing the Yugoslav leader's imperial ambitions, it debunks myths around Tito's Partisans' role in taking Belgrade in 1944." -- Elizabeth Roberts, Balkan scholar and former diplomat, and author of The Realm of the Black Mountain: A History of Montenegro

SynopsisThis groundbreaking biography of Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia presents many startling new revelations, among them his role as an international revolutionary leader and his relationship with Winston Churchill. It highlights his early years as a Comintern operative, the context for his later politics as a leader of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM). The authors argue that in the 1940s, between the dissolution of the Comintern and the rise of NAM, Tito's influence and ambition were far wider than has been understood, extending to Italy, France, Greece and Spain via the international Communist networks established during the Spanish Civil War. Klinger and Kuljis disclose for the first time the connection between Tito's expulsion from the Cominform and the Rome assassination attempt on the Italian Communist Party leader, Palmiro Togliatti--the man who had plotted to overthrow Tito. Tito's Secret Empire offers a pivotal contribution to our understanding of Tito as a figure of real, rather than imagined, global significance. This dazzlingly original book will reward all those who are interested in the history of international Communism, the Cold War and the Non-Aligned Movement, or in Tito the man--one of the most significant leaders of the twentieth century., This new biography situates Tito as an international revolutionary leader, suggesting his power and ambition were much wider than has previously been understood.
