Brossura. Condizione: nuovo. 265pp, 406 illus. Despot Infinitus. NEW --- Bei der Auswahl der Bilder wurde den weniger bekannten Vorrang gegeben, vor allen den Fotos die in Serien erhalten blieben, wodurch man einige Ereignisse besser und vollständiger begreifen kann. Es war nicht möglich alle Verbände und ihre Kommandanten einzubeziehen, entweder weil der im Buch verfügbare Platz begrenzt war oder weil die Archive nur fragmentär erhalten geblieben sind. Auch der Erhaltungszustand einiger Fotoserien war einer der Faktoren bei der Auswahl, so habe ich mich auf Verbände und Ereignisse konzentriert, die ich so vollständig wie möglich präsentieren konnte. Die Fotografien sind chronologisch angeordnet, wobei wir bemüht waren viele unterschiedliche Einheiten der Ustascha-Miliz zu zeigen, ihr Aussehen und ihr Wirken. Einige Fotos sind mit verschiedenen technischen Fehlern behaftet, beschädigt oder unscharf, wir haben uns aber trotzdem entschlossen sie wegen ihres dokumentarischen Wertes zu zeigen.…

Brossura. Condizione: nuovo. Despot Infinitus, 2016. NEW. Pages: 268. Photographs: 406. Binding: softcover -- I have always appreciated photography as a valuable historical source and an excellent supplement to traditio­nal historical records, with the necessary caution, of course, because manipulation with the photography is very easy and sometimes it is enough to change its description underneath to give it a completely different meaning. For that reason, pho­tography is often taken with considerable reservations. The integrity of its composition and the angle taken are determined by the person behind the camera and with the selection of the details, timing and point of view the photographer chooses and decides about the message the photo will convey to the public. However, a properly valuated photography can be of immense help in creating the full picture (image) of the research subject. During my research study about the military branch of the Ustasha movement, I came across numerous photographic materials, of which only a small part was published in the books Usta ka vojnica 1 and 2 . Therefore, the editorial board decided to publish a special edition in the form of a photo album and on a much higher quality paper to ensure that this valuable material could be adequately presented to the public. I had to notice that works like these do not represent revisionism , in terms of the charges that the authors encoun­tered after the release of the Usta ka vojnica 1 when some media had accused us of distortion of history . We only tried to bring new discoveries obtained through the study of the archival materials and thus contribute to a better understanding of this particular period of the Croatian history. In addition, I think that in the critical reviews of the historiographical texts, the mere use of the term revisionism is rather unfortunate because the historiography itself is essentially revisionist . Already in 1868, the German historian Johan Droysen had written that history is humanity s knowledge about itself and it is not the light and the truth , but a search thereof. The progress of society is reflecting on our understanding of the past, so there will always be new findings, and none of the historical chapters can be considered definitive and fully closed. That doesn t mean the relativisation of history doesn t exist, and we are all witnesses that certain events from the past are distorted by the disclosure of certain facts or by presenting half-truths about them. Such attempts are foremost ideological and they pro­trude from the need for some acts in the present to be justified by the events from the past. The interpretations of the past are then set accordingly, and when such a vision has been fully shaped, it becomes indisputable and can no longer be questioned. I think it is unnecessary to point out that this kind of approach is incorrect, and that the task of historiography is to consider events from the past as thoroughly as possible, understand and explain them, so the society can expand them, and not repeat them; or, in the words of an American historian John Lukacz, the task of the historiography has to be: the struggle against all kinds of falsifications, against many kinds of untruths, detecting and exposing them for the sake of us all; aware that the pursuit of truths involves, ever and ever, hacking your way through a jungle of untruths. This is the task much more complex than it appears, at first, because the human objectivity has its limitations, and so has the objectivity of historians, or how Johan Huizinga pointed out in his essay The Task of Cultural History : There is, in our historical consciousness, an element of great importance that is best defined by the term historical sensation. One might also call it historical contact. This contact with the past, a contact which it is impossible to determine or analyze completely is one of the many ways given to man to reach beyond him, to experience the truth. The objects of th.…
