Summary
Basil Davidson: S.O.E. between Chetniks and Partisans
Taken from the cover:
"Basil Davidson is one of those intelligence officers who, just before the Second World War, as well as during the war itself, were tasked with investigating the possibility of possibly organizing a resistance movement in countries under Nazi occupation. Seeing that there are weak prospects for such a thing in Hungary, his next assignment takes him to Yugoslavia. And at the end of the war, to Italy as well. In both of these countries, he was involved in partisan movements, informing his headquarters in Cairo and London.
For us, his attitude towards our national liberation movement, towards the partisans, is particularly interesting. He shrewdly and precisely understood that the people who join that struggle really no longer want the restoration of the old monarchist regime, but expect revolutionary social changes from the struggle."
