Book excerpt: Lane's (politics, The Queen's U., Belfast) investigation into British Foreign Office policy towards Yugoslavia during the pivotal World War II and Cold War years sheds substantive light not only on British policy, but also on the delicate interplay between the Soviet Union and Tito, and US commitment to reconstruction in Western Europe. The volume clarifies much speculation about Tito's communist alliances, his break with the Soviet Union, the support offered to him by the Americans, and the strategic stability Yugoslavia supplied in a notoriously volatile historical period.
