Download or read book Croatian War Nocturnal written by Spomenka Stimec and published by Phoneme Media. This book was released on 2017-08-15 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Croatian War Nocturnal is a fictionalized memoir of the wars in former Yugoslavia in the early 1990s, told from the perspective of a Croatian Esperanto activist and teacher. Composed on an early machine-translation computer while the author hid in her bathroom during bomb raids, the book consists of short, interconnected episodes describing the daily traumas of war and genocide and their effect on life and family, memory and language. Told in a unique and elegant staccato style, it's an emotional account of a woman trying to make sense of the seeming collapse of the two utopian projects that have framed her life--Yugoslavia and Esperanto. At turns somber and darkly witty, Croatian War Nocturnal is a work of enduring optimism, a cry for peace against violence and indifference.

Download or read book Croatia Under Ante Pavelic written by Robert B. McCormick and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-09-23 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ante Pavelic was the leader of the fascist party of Croatia (the Ustaše), who, on Adolf Hitler's instruction, became the leader of Croatia after the Nazi invasion of 1941. Paveli? was an extreme Croatian nationalist who believed that the Serbian people were an inferior race - he would preside over a genocide that ultimately killed an estimated 390,000 Serbs during World War II. Croatia under Ante Paveli? provides the full history of this period, with a special focus on the United States' role in the post-war settlement. Drawing on previously unpublished documents, Robert McCormick argues that President Harry S. Truman's Cold War priorities meant that Paveli? was never made to answer for his crimes. Today, the Ustaše remains difficult legacy within Croatian society, partly as a result of Paveli?' political life in exile in South America. This is a new account of US foreign policy towards one of the Second World War's most brutal dictators and is an essential contribution to Croatian war-time history.

This book was released on 2006-03-09 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a common and disabling condition that often goes undiagnosed for years, and even when the diagnosis is made, treatment is frequently ineffective, especially for combat veterans. Cognitive behavioural therapy with imaginal exposure is considered first-line treatment, but many cannot or will not engage in imaginal exposure, which is not surprising, since avoidance of reminders of the trauma is a defining feature of PTSD. Novel technologies offer an alternative to facilitate exposure therapy, through virtual reality (VR). This book outlines state-of-the-art approaches to improving the diagnosis and treatment of PTSD, with a particular emphasis on the promise and pitfalls associated with VR exposure therapy. The world’s leading experts in this cutting edge field describe their VR work in phobias and other mental disorders, and chart a course for future studies to improve the diagnosis and treatment of PTSD.

Download or read book The Hotel Tito written by Ivana Bodrozic and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most powerful autobiographical novel written about the Yugoslav wars. A timely and deeply accessible book that speaks to what it is like to be displaced by war. Hotel Tito is an award-winning autobiographical novel of the Serbo-Croatian War. Author Ivana Bodrožić was born in the Croatian town of Vukovar, just across the Danube from Serbia. In the fall of 1991, Vukovar was besieged by the Yugoslav People's Army for eighty-seven days. When the army broke the siege, people came up out of the basements where they'd been sheltering from bombardment; women and children were allowed out of the besieged city, but the army bused 400 men from the hospital to a farm on the outskirts where soldiers and Serbian paramilitaries massacred them. Bodrožić's father was among those taken and murdered. In Hotel Tito, after fleeing the war zone their town has become, the mother and two children are housed along with other displaced persons at a former communist school in the village of Kumrovec (the birthplace of Josip Tito). For years they share a single room just large enough for their three beds, waiting to hear whether the narrator's father survived and when they'll be granted an apartment of their own. In the meantime life goes on for the teenage protagonist, first loves bloom and burn quickly, new friendships are acquired and lost, new truths emerge, and new emotions. But she never loses her shy, insightful voice, nor her self-deprecating sense of humor. Hotel Tito is a sensitive and forthright coming of age novel in a time of atrocity and loss.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Married to the War: Golden Edition is the celebration of Marica Love's inspiring autobiographical novel, Married to the War. The acclaimed novel has won an award at the New Book Awards USA 2016. It recounts the trials and tribulations she endured when living in Croatia during the Croatian War of Independence from 1991 - 1995. "How do you fathom a potential outbreak of war when you've spent your whole life in a bubble of security?" When young Marica goes on vacation to Yugoslavia with her sister, she was enchanted with the exotic lifestyle, the coffee sessions, delicious cuisine, and the panoramic sights. What she didn't expect was to fall in love with Croatian man, Drago, at a convenience store. Or that he would propose to her before she left for Australia. "No matter what anyone thinks, this is my path. My journey." They separate for a year as tensions in the Croatian borders escalate. When Drago's parents intervene with plans for him to move to Australia, Marica takes the initiative and uproots her secure life to Croatia to marry him when she becomes of age. A few days later, the Croatian War of Independence begins, it's dark, blood-soaked cloak shadowing over her new life for the next few years. There is terror at every turn. Long gone is the young love-blind teenager as she learns the hierarchy of family, all the customs of becoming an excellent Croatian wife - and a mother. The war isn't just shooting bullets outside the door; it's happening at home, in her marriage - and with her own body. But that doesn't stop her fighting with all her strength. "There are times when I wonder whether this is a personal challenge between me and the war."
