Summary

Vladko Maček: In the fight for freedom: a memoir

Vladko Maček's memoirs, which are being published in our country for the first time after almost seven decades, tell the story of the life of one of the most significant Croatian and Yugoslav politicians of the twentieth century.
Dual subordination at the beginning of the twentieth century - both national and economic - will make Maček an unwavering fighter, primarily for the rights of peasants. The crown of that journey will be his arrival at the head of the largest Croatian political party, as well as the position of Deputy Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
Depicting that journey, Maček introduces us to a series of events in these memoirs. Among them are the involuntary war on Cer and Kolubara, the political struggle with Pašić and King Aleksandar, the murder of Stjepan Radić, numerous trips to prison and captivity, the creation of the Banovina Hrvatska, the signing of the Triple Pact, but also his imprisonment in the Jasenovac camp, where he would be taken by the Ustashas, as well as his later emigration. In this book, Maček also gives pictures of his meetings with Stjepan Radić, Nikola Pašić, King Alexander, Prince Pavlo, Dragiša Cvetković, Anto Pavelić, Alojzij Stepinec and many other personalities who have marked the history of these areas.
The memoirs of an insightful witness, but also a participant in the most significant moments of this era, bring a completely new perspective on the turbulent history of the interwar years, especially talking about the eternal question of Serbian-Croatian relations and (dis)agreement.

"Undaunted, prone to compromises, aware of the fatal fateful connection with his neighbors, Vladko Maček would have done everything to avoid the terrible finale in Croatian-Serbian relations, and he would certainly have avoided it."

Miljenko Jergović
