Davor KonjikuSic offers an in-depth presentation and contextualization of the photographs
created by Yugoslav partisans between 1941 and 1945. The book goes beyond an aesthetic
depiction of the photographs it also deals with the history of their use and function within
one of the biggest anti-fascist movements in Europe during the Second World War. The
photographs are used to trace the development of a movement that-while seemingly doomed to
certain failure-nevertheless survived the most destructive war in human history. This book
provides new answers to the question of photography's role as a medium and its significance and
use in social movements.
