More than a generation after Tito’s death, biographies of the Yugoslav statesman keep appearing apace. Why is that? What else is there to say about Tito, his life, and his legacy? And how do all these books on the same subject of historical record differ?Three authors of biographies of Josip Broz Tito published since 2000—Ivo Goldstein, Jože Pirjevec, and Geoffrey Swain—discuss their motivations for writing, how their books are distinct, and, of course Tito himself.Featuring 11 versions of the song "Uz Maršala Tita" (With Marshal Tito, 1943).Josif Dzhugashvili, Vladimir Dedijer, and Phyllis Auty also make an appearance.The Remembering Yugoslavia podcast explores the memory of a country that no longer exists.
