Description: "Five major groups fought one another in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the Second World War: German and Italian occupiers, Ustasha of the 'Independent State of Croatia', Chetniks led by Draza Mihailovic, a pro-German faction of Bosnian Muslims, and the Tito-led Partisans. The aims, policies and actions of each group are examined in light of their own documents and those of rival groups. This work shows how the Partisans prevailed over other groups because of their superior strategy, their commitment to the country's full liberation from fascist occupation, their pledges of equality among Serbs, Moslems and Croats and their support for Bosnia and Herzegovina's equal status within the Yugoslav Federation."--BOOK JACKET.
