On the Moscow radio, Dedijer—pronounced Dediyer—was called an illegitimate son of an American and a relative of President Truman. In Yugoslavia, he was described as Tito’s Harry Hopkins. To Tito himself, he was one of his oldest party comrades and fellow-fighters in the Partisans’ war against the Nazis and, since 1948, in the political warfare against Stalin. To his friends he was known as Vlado, a six-foot-three journalist, lawyer, translator, ping-pong champion, and political personality in his own country. He was a member of the Yugoslav Parliament and secretary of its Foreign Affairs Commission, a member of the Yugoslav Delegation to the United Nations since 1945, and editor of Borba, the leading daily newspaper in Yugoslavia. He first came to the United States in 1931 at the age of seventeen as head of a Y.M.C.A. delegation. His brother, Stephen, a Princeton graduate and an American paratrooper in the war, worked in Yugoslavia’s Institute of Atomic Energy. He was married twice, his first wife having been killed while serving as a major in the Partisan Army, and he had four children. Dedijer died in Rhineback, New York on 30 November 1990 and was subsequently cremated and his ashes interred in Ljubljana, Slovenia.lihat lebih sedikit
