Complexities of resistance in Southeastern Europe during the Second World War

Review by Milorad Lazić
A somewhat faded sepia photograph with three man standing in the middle. The man on the left is wearing a long, stylish-looking black coat, a hat and black trousers. The man in the middle is wearing what looks like a long wool coat and a French cap. The man on the right is wearing a jacket, with trousers tucked into high boots. He has a riffle on his right side and he is holding a cane in his left hand. They are standing on a street with a big hill visible on the right hand side of the picture in the background. On their right and left, there are a row of low houses. Behind them on the street there are some trees in the distance.
Anti-Axis Resistance in Southeastern Europe, 1939-1945 (Brill, 2023) edited by John Paul Newman, Ljubinka Škodrić, and Rade Ristanović, explores in a comparative and transnational approach the histories of different resistance movements in the region, focusing on various facets from development, strategies and variations. Milorad Lazić writes that the volume is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the region during the Second World War.
