Abstract	"During the Second World War, Britain was both strategically and imaginatively invested in Yugoslavia. The Balkan state was celebrated and idealized in home front propaganda as a site of resistance, a locus of spirituality, and then as a brave communist experiment containing the promise of utopia. After the war, many hailed Tito's Yugoslavia as an exceptional socialist society steering a course between the extremes of Western free-market capitalism and Soviet repression, while others cursed the regime as totalitarian, or mourned the loss of a picturesque Ruritanian kingdom to a communist regime. From the BBC to Ealing Studios, from special operations memoirs to Cold War travelogues, this book explores and interrogates a peculiar fascination with Yugoslavia in mid-twentieth-century British and Irish literature and culture." -- Oxford University Press
