THE SHAME OF THE GREATEST GENERATION: THE
BETRAYAL OF DRAZA MIHAILOVIC

I have recently come into the possession of a
remarkable book published in Great Britain in 1947. The book is entitled "General
Mihailovich: The World's Verdict" and it is a collection of newspaper
articles about Draza Mihailovic and the Serbian Chetnik movement. Many of the
articles contained in the book were written by the U.S. and British servicemen
who were attached to Mihailovic's Chetnik units during the war.
The book destroys the communist propaganda that Mihailovic was a Nazi
collaborator and any fair-minded person who reads it will realize that Gen.
Mihailovic's only crime was resisting the twin evils of Hitler's fascism and
Stalin's communism.
This book chronicles the shame of the Greatest
Generation, and I am by no means attacking our World War II veterans when I say
that. To their credit, our servicemen were ashamed that America and Britain
sold-out Yugoslavia to the communists. These honorable men were outraged that we
stood idly by while the communists captured and executed our ally who "found
Yugoslavia's soul" and raised the first rebellion against the Nazis in Europe.
The Greatest Generation did speak out against the injustice done to Mihailovic
and the Serbian nation, and the things they said are contained in the pages of
this book.
Because the book is out of print and the publisher went out of business more
than 50 years ago copies of it are hard to come by, so I scanned my copy, and
through the magic of the Internet you can download your own copy of the book in
PDF format by right clicking this link and
selecting "Save Target As" (please note file is 137 MB).
P.S.: To all of the Albanians, Muslims, and Croats who have taken the time to write me e-mails over the years calling me a "Chetnik" I thank you for bestowing such an honorable title on me. The mere fact that you think calling someone a Chetnik is an insult has done a tremendous amount to convince me of the rightness of the Serbian cause.
