NEW -- About the book The Great War between Myth and Fact is a collection of thirty essays dealing with those aspects of the First World War that have been misrepresented in popular history. Written in clear and accessible style, it covers the major themes and debates relating to many of the war s military, political, economic, societal and cultural aspects, illustrated by specific examples or events. Furthermore, it aims to bring to the surface the perspectives that have often been silenced or marginalized, covering issues such as war guilt and war crimes, suffering of the civilian population, diplomatic intrigue, or the colossal changes in Europe in the post war period. Furthermore, there are several essays on the disintegration processes of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, with a special emphasis on the Croatian people and the South Slav state that had emerged from the ashes of Austria-Hungary. Most importantly, the book analyzes and explains the forces and factors that have shaped popular interpretations of the Great War, and provides a fact-based counterpoint to several myths, narratives and misconceptions that have held out to present day.
