Summary/Abstract: On the basis of an overview of the recently opened archival materials of the British National Archive this article provides a look at the activities British and American diplomats and secret services attached to socialist Yugoslavia at the time of the sickness and death of the Yugoslavian leader Josip Broz Tito. Mostly these have to do with the potential consequences of Tito’s death for the Yugoslav federation, that is, its internal and foreign political orientation, but also the politics of the West toward the Soviet Union in the context of its intervention in Afghanistan and the role of Yugoslavia in the Non-aligned Movement.
