Description

This show is a bit slow moving, but gripping even so in the stories both guests have to tell. We start off with the subject of Mr. Martin's book: Churchill's dropping of Draza Mihailovic in favor of Josip Broz Tito as our ally in Yugoslavia in World War II. It is Mr. Martin's thesis, backed up by newly declassified British files, that Churchill was deliberately misled by a Communist sympathizer in British intelligence, who convinced him that Mihailovic was a fascist. SS: "Traditionalist conservative figures in nationalist movements are not those with which Americans can immediately commune.... It has always been easier for us to deal with Communists, who were internationalists, who could talk to us in slogans that we would understand."
