Špijun kojeg smo voljeli: Autobiografija

Stevan Dedijer

This posthumous autobiography, prepared by his wife Carin and son Miki, is not just a memoir; it is a whirlwind of anecdotes about freedom and politics, where brother Vladimir fights for the partisans, and Stevan joins the American ranks of the OSS (forer

Imagine a life full of fiery leaps: from his Sarajevo childhood, to parachuting over Normandy in World War II, to secret plans for an atomic bomb in Tito's Yugoslavia – all of this is narrated by Stevan Dedijer (1911–2004), a nuclear physicist, journalist and intelligence officer, with optimism, cheerfulness and unstoppable humor.

Starting in his student days at Princeton (physics 1934), working at "The New York Times" and "Newsweek", then returning to Belgrade: journalism at "Borba" and "Politika", heading the nuclear institute. 1950. Kardelj entrusts him with Tito's secret project to create an atomic bomb – but the paranoia of the authorities turns him into a "spy".

He emigrates in 1954: he establishes a department for intelligence studies in Lund, builds the Swedish network BISNES, speaks several languages, meets Bohr. Three marriages (American, Croatian, Swedish), testimonies about Tito's crimes - all told without bitterness, with a lot of warmth and wisdom. Dedier's voice is healing: it reminds us that dissident courage is a legacy, and science is a weapon of freedom. Ideal for lovers of historical sagas and family epics.
