Adamic, (Alojzij) Louis (c. 1899–1951)

Yugoslavian-born writer who emigrated to the USA in 1913. Adamic wrote many articles, stories, and books based on his experiences in the USA and his former life in Yugoslavia, the best known being Native's Return: An American Immigrant Visits Yugoslavia and Discovers His Old Country (1934). He was killed by a gunshot wound.

Adamic became an American citizen in 1918 and served in the US Army in World War I. Although he supported Tito, he was opposed to Soviet communism. Upon his death there was inconclusive speculation as to whether he had committed suicide or been murdered by Soviet agents.
