Albania Defiant (Swedish: Albansk utmaning) is a travel book by the Swedish authors Gun Kessle and Jan Myrdal, originally published in 1970 and translated to English in 1976 by Paul Britten Austin. It was reprinted in 1986, with six additional new chapters.[1] In Swedish it was published by PAN/Nordstedt, in English by Monthly Review Press.
The book, which is deeply sympathetic to the Party of Labour of Albania (PPSh), was written by Kessle and Myrdal – who were married until Kessle's death in 2007 – about their travels in the People's Republic of Albania. It deals with a number of issues, including the country's economy, culture and history, as well as the political leadership of Enver Hoxha.
