{"product_id":"tito-and-the-rise-and-fall-of-yugoslavia","title":"Tito and the Rise and Fall of Yugoslavia","description":"\u003cp\u003eFew figures have dominated a nation's destiny as much as Marshal Tito of former Yugoslavia. For nearly thirty years he held together mutually hostile religious groups in a deeply divided country, but his death in 1980 rekindled centuries-old hatreds and by 1992 Yugoslavia ceased to exist. In this revealing biography, Richard West questions the full impact of Tito's reign of power and his implicit responsibility for the ensuing violent, bloody war in Bosnia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Excellent ...
