Set against the brutal landscape of occupied Yugoslavia, the narrative chronicles Djilas's years fighting alongside Tito's Partisan movement — a struggle not only against Nazi and fascist occupation, but against the Chetniks, internal betrayal, and the unrelenting moral compromises of guerrilla warfare. Written with the unflinching candour of a man who lived every page, the account presents the chaos of ideological conviction colliding with the savage reality of war.\n\nTranslated by Michael B. Petrovich, Wartime stands as one of the definitive literary documents to emerge from the Yugoslav theatre of World War II. Djilas — once one of Tito's closest lieutenants, later imprisoned for his dissident writings — brings a rare dual perspective: that of the committed revolutionary and the disillusioned intellectual. His prose is spare yet devastating, illuminating the human cost of political fanaticism with a clarity that no historian writing from the outside could replicate. For those who seek to understand how ideology transforms — and destroys — men in the crucible of total war, this memoir poses questions that remain urgently unanswered.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130622157019,"sku":"2026200010117-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/3feb0f95-0c53-4f85-a154-6495de340efb.png?v=1786587726","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200010117-secondhand-wartime","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
