Phyllis Auty chronicles the turbulent formation and evolution of the Yugoslav state, tracing its roots from the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires through the fierce partisan struggles of World War II and into the unique brand of socialist self-management pioneered under Tito. Written with scholarly precision yet accessible clarity, the work details the intricate ethnic, religious, and cultural tensions that both unified and divided Serbs, Croats, Slovenes, and other South Slavic peoples under a single federal banner. Auty illustrates how Yugoslavia carved out a distinctive path between East and West during the Cold War, defying Soviet dominance and charting an independent course that made it an anomaly among communist states. This remains an essential reference for anyone seeking to understand the historical forces that shaped — and ultimately fractured — the Balkan region.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887894212827,"sku":"2026200007366-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/25ff9ce0-aaa1-4a16-ae75-a8992c9d5626.png?v=1781748060","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007366-secondhand-yugoslavia","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
