A travelogue by British author Bernard Newman published in 1960. The book provides a detailed and insightful insight into the culture, people, and lesser-known regions of the then Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia under the leadership of Josip Broz Tito. Bernard Newman (1897–1968) was a prolific British writer, historian, and expert on espionage. An avid traveler who cycled through much of Europe, Newman's book takes his observations outside the usual tourist routes of the time. The author focuses on the daily lives of the local population, the traditions, and folk customs of different ethnic groups. The book provides insight into the socio-political atmosphere of Yugoslavia during the Cold War, especially after Tito's break with Stalin in 1948. This was not Newman's first book on the region; he had previously published titles such as "Balkan Background" (1944) and "Tito's Yugoslavia" (1951/1952). The book is today considered a valuable historical source for understanding Western perspectives on post-war Yugoslavia and its internal social dynamics.
