The Embattled Mountain – Frederick William Deakin
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 3.3MB
Overview: On 28 May 1943 the author of this book was parachuted, together with Captain Stuart and a small party, to the highlands of Montenegro. These two officers commanded the first British military mission to Tito’s headquarters. They landed unawares in the middle of the most critical Axis operation as yet mounted against the Yugoslav partisan movement, whose main forces of four divisions, lightly armed and burdened with three thousand wounded, were encircled on the ‘Embattled Mountain’ of Durmitor — the symbol of this book — by double their number, headed by German mountain and SS troops, supported by artillery and aircraft.
The epic of Durmitor, which has passed into Yugoslav legend, sets the frame of this book, which is also the story of one British wartime mission in the Balkans. It portrays the figures of Tito and his immediate collaborators, and the nature and structure of the Yugoslav Partisan forces and their military and political organization as seen at the time, without the studied intrusion of hindsight.
