Progress of a Revolutionary
By Nora Beloff
Rise and Fall
by Milovan Djilas, Translated from the Serbo-Croatian by John Fiske Loud
Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 424 pp., $24.95
This is the fourth and presumably last volume of the autobiography of Milovan Djilas, the only man in the communist world who, having reached the highest circles of Party power and privilege, felt morally obliged to repudiate the entire system that he helped to install. As a consequence he was stripped of office, spent nine years in prison, and has remained until today forcibly isolated from his compatriots and shunned by the official representatives of all foreign countries.
