The monograph describes the period from the second half of the 19th century onwards, when national conflicts emerged in Primorska, then takes into account the two decades of the fascist regime, the aggression against Yugoslavia in April 1941, the consequences of the Italian capitulation, which led to the first wave of “foibe" in Istria, the consequences of the war in Venezia Giulia, where the Yugoslav authorities began to make arrests, deportations and executions ("foibe" after May 1, 1945), and finally the development of this issue from the end of the war to the present day.

The treatise is the first in-depth analysis of how the military, intelligence and political-diplomatic circles of Great Britain and the United States assessed the problem of "foibe". The author used the yet unknown primary Anglo-American sources, testifying to how the allied officers on the field (especially in the regions of Trieste and Gorizia) perceived the violence allegedly carried out by Yugoslav authorities after the war. Their estimates show a discrepancy between the actual results of the research and between the old and new allegations of political propaganda.
