Maršal mira

The work "Marshal of Peace", authored by Zvonko Staubringer, published in 1983, represents a significant journalistic and memorial achievement created in the period when Yugoslav society still intensely remembered Josip Broz Tito. The author, known for numerous works dedicated to Tito's life and work, in this book focuses on the international dimension of Tito's politics, observing him primarily as a consistent visionary, statesman and global symbol of peace. At the center of the observation is Tito's role in the creation of the Non-Aligned Movement, his commitment to the peaceful resolution of international conflicts, the policy of active peaceful coexistence, and the fight against colonialism and Cold War divisions. Through numerous examples, meetings with statesmen of the world and diplomatic initiatives, Staubringer illustrates how Yugoslavia under Tito's leadership enjoyed an exceptional reputation on the international scene precisely thanks to his peace mission. The book is imbued with a distinctly affirmative tone, combining documentary records, political analysis and journalistic expression. It represents an important witness of the times that depicts the way in which the cult of Tito as the supreme builder of world peace was formed and celebrated in the post-war Yugoslav historiography and public space.
