One of Titos more valuable allies was a man named Edvard Kardelj, a Yugoslav politician who was a "behind-the-scenes"  person who helped shape the countrys many policies during his years in the government. Kardelj was born on January 27, 1910  in Ljubljana, Yugoslavia, the son of a railroad worker (Edvard Kardelj, 2002; see also Edvard Kardelj: 1910-1979, 2002).
