Istvan Tamas argues the Dalmatian coast offers a less costly invasion route for the Allies with Spalato as a key base. He cites Dalmatian American-leaning refugees and guerrilla fighters as potential bets for strong resistance. He also notes postPhiloxera migrations shaping a warlike, resourceful populace. He remarks on books and art releases from Oxford University Press and others.
