Presentation of Bibliography of the Warrior
The Central Military Club was a venue of the presentation of a book “Bibliography of the Warrior - a journal for military science, literature and news” by the author, historian Prof Miloje Pršić, and published by the Media Centre “Odbrana”. After the promotion at the 62nd Book Fair in Belgrade, that capital bibliographic work was presented in the ceremonial hall of the former Warriors’ Club, in front of several dozens of guests, representatives of the Ministry of Defence and Serbian Armed Forces, Serbian Orthodox Church, historians and numerous book lovers interested in historical and military subjects.
Following introductory and greeting remarks of the Director of the Media Centre “Odbrana” Colonel Stevica Karapandžin, who among other pointed out that such testimony of the oldest expert military journal, with more than 18,000 stories published over the period between 1879 and 1941, had been waited for over 12 years. Critic Dr Mile Bjelajac, Scientific Counsellor in the Institute for Recent History, Colonel Prof Miroslav Talijan, Head of the National Defence School, the author and editor Mirjana Sandić also talked about the book.
The book of exceptional bibliographical, scientific, historical value brings a review of the journal which was form more than 60 years an arena for the expression of thoughts and positions of prominent army leaders, military historians and theoreticians of the military thought. It is the third, and certainly the most thorough and the most detailed bibliography of the journal, which was with its 584 volumes published until the very beginning of the Second World War, besides the other two bibliographies published in 1904 and 1925 to mark 25th and 50th anniversary of the “Warrior”. The journal gathered more than 1300 associates, not counting translated authors of the texts which contained the experience of foreign armed forces and wars waged out of this area.
Recommending the book not only to expert reading public but to the wider audience as well, which in its interest in military and historical subjects can certainly start from the extraordinary bibliographic material published in the work of Colonel Pršić, the speakers pointed to the great significance of “Bibliography of the Warrior - a journal for military science, literature and news” for the military nonfiction.
