In 1944 Howard Fast published Tito and His People (Contemporary Publishers, Winnipeg, Canada) which also appeared as The Incredible Tito: Man of the Hour (New York: Magazine House, 1944) in an abridged version. In this version, Josip Broz Tito was portrayed as the only one fighting German occupation forces while Draza Mihailovich did no fighting at all. How accurate was this account?

Howard Fast was a novelist and TV writer who wrote the novel Spartacus (1951). He worked for the US Information Agency, which was the US Propaganda Office. “Information” is the US euphemism for “Propaganda”.
He also worked for Voice of America, which, again, is a propaganda outlet. Fast was also a member of the Communist Party USA in 1944.
He spent three months in US prison in 1950 for contempt of Congress because he would not reveal his Communist connections. The penalty for “Contempt of Congress” is up to a year in jail and a fine of $1,000. Contempt is generally not regarded or classified a felony or misdemeanor but is, nevertheless, a serious penalty.
Howard Fast was a novelist, a fiction writer, and a propagandist. And he was a Communist. He detailed his experiences as a Communist in Being Red: A Memoir (Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1990). Fast was questioned about his book on Tito when he appeared before the Un-American Activities Committee of the House of Representatives of the United States in 1946.
