- Idon'suppose you know that when you're sitting on the bench you somehow get the feeling of the court. I never had it more stronglv than on that day.... I hadn'the shadow of a doubt that the jury would bring in a verdict of guilty.'
Producer DAVID DAVIS (1969)
Josip Broz Tito has been called the Martin Luther of Communism and for almost exactly 30 years has managed to preserve Yugoslavia's own brand of socialism without either being totally committed to the Eastern Bloc or 'selling out' to the West. At a time when detente is under strain, Yugoslavia to some appears to be an embodiment of the principle while to others the federation of six socialist republics seems to be under threat of Soviet domination. The uncertainty has been further emphasised by reports of dissension between national groups and the suppression of a number of non-conformist Marxist publications and the removal of the academics who ran them.
Gerald Priestland has been in Yugoslavia examining its own particular brand of Communism, its place as a symbol of the non-aligned world, its economy and its foreign policy.
