The Tragedy of Bleiburg and Viktring, 1945
The atrocities and mass murders committed by Josip Broz Tito's Partisan units of the Yugoslav Army immediately after the Second World War had no place in the conscience of Socialist Yugoslavia. More than once, the annual Croatian commemoration of the Bleiburg victims was subject to attacks carried out by the socialist Yugoslav state. Abroad in the West, on Austrian soil, the Yugoslav secret service (UDBA) did not shy away from murdering the protagonist of the Croatian memory culture, Nicola Martinovic, as late as 1975. The official history was aligned with a firm interpretational paradigm that called for a glorification of the anti-fascist "people's liberation resistance." With the breakup o...
Social Revolutionaries and Secret Agents
Whatever success the partisans ultimately had, the author argues, was largely dependent upon the material help of the supersecret Special Operations Executive, which vainly hoped to use the pro-Nazi Carinthia to foment subversion in Austria and perhaps even in Czechoslovakia and Poland.

Flashpoint Trieste
Flashpoint Trieste is the story of one year in one city as the Cold War begins. The Western Allies captured the Adriatic port city before the Russians could reach it, but having survived the war, everybody is now desperate to make it through the liberation. Life is fast and violent, as former warring parties find common cause against the Soviet Union and the borders of the new Europe are being hammered out. Against this deadly backdrop of espionage, escape and revenge, the British and Americans are locked into the opening stages of the Cold War on the beautiful shores of the Adriatic, opposing the Russians and Yugoslavs. Now published in paperback, this is the story of the first turbulent post-war year of lethal cat-and-mouse in south-eastern Europe, told through the stories of twelve men and women from seven different countries thrown together on a strategically vital frontier between East and West.
The History of the Galician Division of the Waffen SS
The second volume of the definitive history of the 14th Waffen-Grenadier Division der SS (Ukrainische Nr 1). The lavishly illustrated concluding volume of the division's history features chapters on its reformation, deployment against Communist-backed partisans in Slovakia, the forced march to Slovenia, anti-partisan action against Tito's partisans in Slovenia and its committal for the final time on the Eastern Front against the Red Army in Austria. It concludes with an investigation into the Division's escape from repatriation a subject which has long been the subject of contention amongst historians. This volume also deals with internment and ends with its unique post war fate including ne...

Slovenski begunci v Avstriji (1945–1950)
Knjiga prikazuje življenje in delo slovenskih beguncev (ok. 20.000), ki so maja 1945 zapustili Slovenijo in se začasno umaknili v Avstrijo, kjer so jih zavezniške oblasti namestile v begunska taborišča za razseljene osebe. V teh »lesenih mestih« so v kratkem času nastale specifične begunske skupnosti, ki so se razmeroma dobro organizirale in razvile pestro dejavnost – vzgojno, izobraževalno in kulturno delo, versko življenje in politično delovanje. Ker jim razmere v Jugoslaviji niso dovoljevale vrnitve v domovino, so se konec štiridesetih let povečini preselili v prekomorske države (največ v Argentino).
