In the Struggle for Freedom is the autobiography of Vladko Maček (1879–1964), a prominent Croatian politician who led the Croatian Peasant Party (HSS) following the assassination of Stjepan Radić. He describes his tenure as head of the Croatian Peasant Party, particularly his opposition to the dictatorship of King Alexander I and his eventual imprisonment. The book includes Maček's criticisms of extreme nationalist groups like the Ustaše and his rejection of Axis approaches during World War II. He details his time under house arrest and his imprisonment in the Jasenovac concentration camp by the Ustaše regime before his eventual exile in 1945. The latter part of the memoir covers his life in Washington, D.C., where he helped found the International Peasant Union to represent suppressed Eastern European peasant parties.
