In book form Hoxha's The Titoites exceeds 600 pages in length. An electronic version of the text prepared for this site would, as a single file, exceed 1.6MB! Given the very large size of this text, I have once again departed from my normal practice of making a single complete file available, and have instead divided the text into five easily managable parts.
    Although every effort has been made to prepare a faithful reproduction of the text, readers familiar with East European languages will notice that many proper names lack accent marks over certain consonants. This is a failing of the HTML standard, and although an "image" file (i.e., "gif.") of a given letter and the appropriate accent mark could have been substituted for the letter as it appears in this transcription (i.e., without an accent mark), this would have made the preparation of the text needlessly cumbersome. Moreover, while such image files would work fine so long as you read the text directly from the site, if you decided to save the text to your hard drive, you would not be able to save the image files of given letters and their respect accent marks. In short, you'd be no better off than you are now with respect to having your own copy of the text.
    What follows is the COMPLETE table of contents for the text. You will be able to access the various parts of the text as you proceed through the listing of contents, and again at the very end of the page.
