The result was protracted multi-partite struggle. The principal forces opposing the Axis occupation comprised Tito's communist Partisans, and, initially, Draza Mihailovic's royalist Chetniks. Further complications involved the shifting allegiances of Allied support, and the brutal ethnic cleansing and ideological warfare waged by the forces of occupation, and their internal allies, under the 'anti-partisan' moniker. In 1942, the first of seven major counter-insurgency operations was carried out by Axis forces. These took place in every part of the country, aiming to annihilate the main core of resistance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith stunning artwork, detailed maps and period images, this book reveals the military material culture of the wide range of opposing forces involved. It also covers the planning and execution of each operation, from the autumn 1941 offensive against the Republic of Uzice through to the final attack in western Bosnia in spring 1944. The result is a unique visual exploration of one of the most complex and least studied offensives of World War II.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pier Paolo Battistelli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472865375\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472865373\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.76h x 7.24w x 1.00d","brand":"Pier Paolo Battistelli","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46451211600127,"sku":"9781472865373","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9b004e2c-7f91-4a9b-a5e9-b7df49700b47.jpg?v=1735876794","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/yugoslavia-1941-44-pier-paolo-battistelli-9781472865373","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
