By Ruth Mitchel. This extraordinary book is one of the rare accounts by a foreigner of
World War II in Yugoslavia. The events of the early war years - the
anti-Axis coup, German invasion and occupation, Serb resistance - all
unfold against the backdrop of everyday hardship in occupied Serbia, in
this deeply personal but illuminating account of an American woman who
was there to both observe and participate.

The Treaty of London, also known as the London Pact (Patto
di Londra, in Italian), was negotiated secretly by three major
Allied Powers (France, Russia, Great Britain) and Italy. Since

under Austria-Hungary, the negotiations had to involve also the
future borders of two cobelligerant Allied states, the kingdoms
of Serbia and Montenegro.

Great powers and the Balkan nations and peoples. The Balkan
states/nations and peoples were merely pawns or chattels for the
imperialist powers to do with as they wished. They were merely chess
pieces in a larger imperialist chess game.
