Abstract
Martin Previšić’s book is the first historical publication to address the functioning of the Goli Otok [Naked Island] camp in Yugoslavia and the repression against supporters of Stalinism in this country during the era of conflict with the Soviet Union in the late 1940s and the first half of the 1950s. The author used security service materials, party documentation, and also interviewed those imprisoned in “Tito’s Gulag”. Previšić has successfully portrayed the activities of the repressive apparatus and party leadership circles, and has also attempted to present a collective portrait of the opponents of Tito’s policies in Yugoslavia. On the plus side, there is also a rich description of the daily life of those imprisoned as well as a meticulously drawn up calculation of the number of victims of repression.
