Tito spent much time in Russia and became a member of the [[Communist partyComintern]] there, returned to Yugoslavia during [[World War II]] and organized an anti-[[fascist]] resistance movement (the Comintern [[Yugoslav Partisans]]). <ref>David Martin, ''Ally Betrayed,'' Prentice-Hall, 1946, pps. 224-231,</ref> After World War II he defied [[Soviet]] influence and founded the Non-Aligned Movement.
==Betrayal of the London exiles==
In 1940 the German army invaded Yugoslavia and swiftly reduced it to submission. The government of Yugoslavia joined other [[Allied Powers]] exile governments in London, became a signatory of the [[Atlantic Charter]], and held recognition as the legitimate government of Yugoslavia. Colonel Draja Mikhailovitch remained behind in Yugoslavia to lead the Chetnik underground army against the fascists.<ref>David Martin, ''Ally Betrayed,'' Prentice-Hall, 1946, pps. 224-231,</ref>
In the United States, [[Louis Adamic]] had access to [[Eleanor Roosevelt]]. Adamic was invited to dinner at the [[White House]] and pressed upon U.S. President [[Franklin Roosevelt]] for support of the [[Comintern]] [[subversion (political)|subversive]] Tito over Colonel Draja Mikhailovitch. The U.S. [[Office of War Information]] began spreading the lie that the leader of the anti-fascist resistance, Colonel Draja Mikhailovitch was an ineffectual interloper with so little backing that Hitler offered a reward of 100,000 marks for Tito's head but nothing for Mikhailovitch's.
