  Bogdan Radica was born in Split, Croatia on August 26, 1904. He was educated in Ljubljana, Florence, and Rome. Radica worked as a journalist and essayist and served as a press attache in the Royal Yugoslav foreign service. During World War II Radica served as a press officer in Washington, D.C. and New York City. He eventually broke with the Communist regime that came to power in Yugoslavia. Radica emigrated to the United States in 1946 and became a U.S. citizen in 1957, serving as an active member of the faculty of Fairleigh-Dickinson University until 1974.
  
• Summary:
  The papers consist of official reports, correspondence, subject files, extensive clippings, writings, and printed matter which document Bogdan Radica's work as a press officer in the Yugoslav Legation in Washington, D.C. and the Yugoslav Information Center in New York during World War II. The papers highlight Radica's efforts to inform his government of American press (including the emigre press) coverage of affairs in Yugoslavia and the Balkans, his propagandistic work in support of governmental policies, and his contacts with the Croat, Slovene, and Serb communities in the United States. The papers also illustrate Radica's personal and professional interests in postwar Yugoslavia, including the political activities of the various exile communities.
