Dr Richard Mills talks Yugoslavia in hit podcast
Award-winning podcast Real Dictators returns this summer with a five-part series on Yugoslav leader Josip Broz Tito. The series, which opens with the emotional announcement of Tito’s death in a packed football stadium, features insight from UEA historian Dr Richard Mills, author of The Politics of Football in Yugoslavia. A towering and controversial Twentieth Century statesman, Tito led a victorious partisan war against the Axis, engineered a communist revolution in Yugoslavia, and stood up to Stalin at the height of the Cold War. This Noiser production can be accessed via BBC Sounds, Apple, Spotify, Google, Audible, and elsewhere.
