Summary
Bojan Dimitrijević, Nemanja Dević: Nikola Kalabić and the Mountain King's Guard: truth and myth
Book Nikola Kalabić and the Mountain King's Guard. History and Myth is an attempt by two historians, experts on the civil war in Serbia 1941-1945, to provide answers to questions about one of the most colorful and intriguing figures in contemporary Serbian history. About Nikola Kalabić eight decades after the Second World War, there are conflicting images to the extent that it seems that two mythical Kalabićs live in the collective memory: one as the closest associate and confidant of General Mihailović, sung in a national song, and the other as his Branković - an officer who denounced him and committed numerous crimes during the war. Based on literature, memoirs and, above all, rich archival material - partly unknown, from the archives of the security services, the authors give us a new perspective on Kalabić and the Serbian war drama itself.'
