Summary
For more than three decades, Yugoslavia's history played out in the life of one man. That man was Josip Broz Tito.
The fictional autobiography of a regime insider, K. Balej's thoroughly researched novel provides a revealing insight into the emergence and functioning of the Yugoslav socialist system from the time of the Vienna Congress in 1815 to Tito's own death in 1980. It is an immersive exploration of the changing nature of Tito's power and the fascinating symbiosis of man and state that Tito represents.
Socialist Yugoslavia was far from being a major economic or military power, yet in the person of Tito, it achieved a remarkable significance in the politics of the Cold War. Just a decade after Tito's death, world leaders would look on with apparent incomprehension as his country descended into Europe's bloodiest conflict since the Second World War. Man and State gives the listener a fresh appreciation of why Communist Yugoslavia could not long survive its creator.
