Rad se bavi sudbinom članova HSS-a nakon drugoga svjetskoga rata. HSS je do 1941. godine bila najača hrvatska politička stranka. Tijekom drugog svjetskog rata stranka je stjecajem okolnosti pasivizirana i izolirana. Nakon rata HSS doživljava u novoj komunističkoj Jugoslaviji progone i nestanak iz političkog života. Autor je svoja istraživanja utemeljio na proučavanju izvještaja vladajuće Komunističke partije i raznolikoj literaturi. Obradio je sva područja Hrvatske, osim Istre u kojoj HSS nije imao utjecaja.The article deals with fates of the HSS members in the period following the end of the war.
