4.9/5 (21293 ratings)

Description:This is the first translation into English of the only scholarly work into an event little-known in the West – the Yugoslav Peasants’ Revolt of 1950. Peasant unrest broke out on both sides of the border between Croatia and Bosnia in May of that year – an area that was to be torn apart by war 42 years later. The relevance of this subject to the present day is multiple – it examines in great detail the reality of communist oppression at the height of the Cold War, as well as shedding light on many issues that re-emerged in violent form in the Balkans in the 1990s. It exposes the roots of the failure of communism, as well as the causes of the nationalist crisis of the Yugoslav Wars. Finally, it also facilitates a more intimate understanding of the same phenomenon in our own country in the more distant past, when the rural poor felt in their desperation that they had nothing to lose and rose up in arms against their oppressive masters. The book includes forewords by two renowned Balkan scholars, as well as by Dr Marko Hoare of Kingston University.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
