Summary/Abstract: The book deals with the policy of the Ustasha movement and the Independent State of Croatia (NDH) towards the Croatian Adriatic regions. Through the Rome Treaties of May 18, 1941, the NDH was compelled to cede significant portions of these regions, especially in Dalmatia, under the control of the Kingdom of Italy. After Italy's surrender in September 1943, the NDH had the opportunity to regain control over most of these territories. Based on numerous new and previously unused archival sources, the book examines the administration of the NDH in the former annexed parts of Dalmatia. This administration lasted until late 1944 when the German army and the NDH administration withdrew from Dalmatia, and the area fell under the control of Tito's partisans. The book also illustrates how the NDH attempted to extend its authority to Sušak-Rijeka, Istria, and the Bay of Kotor after Italy's surrender.
