Ratni dnevnik

Ivan Šibl

In the whirlwind of the Second World War, Ivan Šibl, a communist activist and partisan, records his days in the War Diary - a memoir that celebrates resistance to the occupier, but through the prism of a one-sided ideology.

From joining the Partisan ranks, through daily battles and the ironies of everyday life, to entering Zagreb in 1945, Šibl portrays heroes like Nikola Demonja as impeccable, while reducing the opposing sides to caricatures of evil. This book, a sequel to "Illegal Zagreb", reveals not only the horrors of war and solidarity, but also the rigidity of the communist narrative, where every victory is celebrated and criticism is suppressed as revisionism.

Šibl's style, a mix of irony and pathos, may entertain, but for the reader skeptical of totalitarian myths, this is not a neutral chronicle, but a tool for glorifying a movement that later led to new repressions. If you are interested in controversial testimonies about the war, such as memoirs from both sides of the conflict, this book offers insight into propaganda and is useful for understanding how history is written by the victors. Ideal for those seeking a critical perspective on heroic myths.
