Until his expulsion from the Communist party in 1954, Djilas was a Vice President of Yugoslavia and one of Tito's chief associates. In this second volume of his memoirs, Djilas describes his activities in the 1930's, as he became active in the Communist movement. Milovan Djilas (12 June 1911 - 20 April 1995) was a Yugoslav communist politician, theorist and author. He was a key figure in the Partisan movement during World War II, as well as in the post-war government. A democratic socialist, Djilas became one of the best-known and most prominent dissidents in Yugoslavia and all of Eastern Europe. Djilas helped Josip Broz Tito to establish the Yugoslav Partisan resistance and became a guerrilla commander during the war following Germany's attack on the Soviet Union on 22 June 1941 (Operation Barbarossa) when the Communist Party of Yugoslavia's (KPJ) Central Committee decided that conditions had been created for armed struggle. Djilas had an important role in the Uprising in Montenegro which was a national example, spanning ideological lines. Large parts of Montenegro were quickly liberated. Djilas was widely regarded as Tito's possible successor and in 1953 he was about to be chosen as President of Yugoslavia. He became President of the Federal Assembly of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, but he only held office from 25 December 1953, to 16 January 1954. DJilas was granted amnesty and freed after four years in jail. He continued as a dissident, living in Belgrade. Derived from a Kirkus review: Djilas, until his 1954 break with Tito one of the highest ranking Yugoslav Communists, describes his first decade as a revolutionary. A university student from a peasant family, he was caught up in the bohemian, anti-dictatorial ferment of the early Depression years and became a Communist leader -- though rarely an effective organizer, given the persecutions during the period and the party's failures to achieve a meaningful mass following. The book provides some basis for evaluating the political possibilities and failures on the left. It offers brilliant descriptions -- especially of prison life with its hunger strikes, tortures, and political discussions -- along with reminiscences about the mentality of Communist youth, when personal courage, not intellectual strength, was the criterion of true party spirit. Djilas' reservations about Moscow's switching lines takes limited shape. The composition of the party, the characterology of its leaders and followers, and the late '30's effort to uplift members' sexual morality are described alongside Djilas' search for a true synthesis between his poetic impulses and political creativity. A personal document, the book has the compelling quality of a battle memoir. First Edition [stated], Appears to be a second printing. G. Arvid Peterson (Author photograph) (illustrator).…
