{"product_id":"the-legacy-of-serbias-great-alex-tomic-9781805392330","title":"The Legacy of Serbia's Great War: Politics and Remembrance","description":"\u003cp\u003e In the winter of 1915, following the invasion of Serbia by the Central Powers, the Serbian Army retreated across the mountains of Albania and Montenegro together with thousands of civilians. Around 240,000 lost their lives. Today, the story of the retreat is little known, except in Serbia where it is represents the heroic Serbian sacrifice in the Great War. In this book Alex Tomic examines the centenary events memorializing the First World War with the retreat at its core, and provides a persuasive account of the ways in which the remembrance of Serbian history has been manipulated for political purposes. Whether through commemorations, ceremonies, or grass- root initiatives, she demonstrates how these have been used as distractions from the more recent unexamined past and in doing so provides an important new perspective on the cultural history of commemoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alex Tomic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1805392336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781805392330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/05\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Alex Tomic","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44449886929151,"sku":"9781805392330","price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ce61dfeb-89fd-4c55-96ee-3867e51f3749.jpg?v=1698501584","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-legacy-of-serbias-great-alex-tomic-9781805392330","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
