An exceptionally scarce and historically significant post–World War II diplomatic dossier published in 1946, immediately following the end of WWII.
Issued by the Ligue « La Paix par la Justice », this rare 24-page archival pamphlet presents a documentary exposé on Yugoslavia’s adherence to the Axis Powers, culminating in the signing of the Vienna Pact on March 25, 1941.
Printed in French for international circulation, this publication was not commercially distributed, making surviving copies particularly scarce and highly desirable among collectors of WWII ephemera, diplomatic history, and Balkan studies.
