Pregled povijesti hrvatskoga naroda

The book Overview of the History of the Croatian People is a major work by one of the most prominent Croatian historians of the 20th century, Ferdo Šišić. First published in 1916, this major work presents a fundamental overview of national history from the arrival of the Croats in these areas to the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy and the creation of a common state in 1918.

Šišić strictly respects original historical sources, archival materials, and critical methodology in his approach, which is why this work still retains exceptional scientific and reference value today. The text is divided into logical units that cover key periods: the national rulers and the medieval Croatian state, the period of personal union with the Hungarian and Habsburg Monarchies, the fight against the Ottoman threat, and the national revival and political struggles in the 19th century.

Although written at the beginning of the last century, Šišić's synthetic work is indispensable literature for anyone who wants to understand more deeply the legal status, political evolution and social development of the Croatian people through the centuries.
