Beacons in the Night: With the OSS and Titoâ (Tm)S Partisans in Wartime Yugoslavia - Paperback
by Franklin Lindsay (Author)
"This is a 3-in-1 bargain: a gripping tale of adventure; a solid contribution to the history of World War II; and an illuminating introduction to the contemporary tragedy of Yugoslavia." -Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. Lindsay's memoirs are largely based on newly declassified materials. 25 illustrations.
Lindsay's memoir of his experiences as an American OSS officer with Tito's Partisans stands as a classic work of Resistance literature, but the book's overriding importance lies in its clarification of the ethnic/religious tensions that led to the present Balkan tragedy. . . . The book combines a rousing personal adventure story with new information on the Partisan contribution to the Allied war effort, and at the same time provides a useful lesson in Balkan history that is directly pertinent to the current bloodshed.--Publishers Weekly
"A cracking good tale of covert operations."--Roland Green
