<DIV><DIV><b>Fast&rsquo;s fascinating biography of Joseph Broz, known to the world as Tito, including his rise to power and his remarkable stand against fascism<BR><BR></b></div><DIV>The world was mired in the Second World War when Howard Fast wrote <i>The Incredible Tito</i>. Upon the book&rsquo;s publication in 1944, there was still no united Yugoslavia, the Axis controlled most of Europe, and D-Day was only in the planning stages. In the Balkans, Tito was a beacon of hope against the advancing Nazis. He led a force of resistance fighters that bedeviled the occupying German army throughout Slavic regions and empowered people&rsquo;s committees to act as local government in all liberated areas. For observers on the political left, Tito seemed uniquely poised to unite the East and West against fascism&mdash;once and for all.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>This ebook features an illustrated biography of Howard Fast including rare photos from the author&rsquo;s estate.</div></div>
