Knjiga predstavlja sintezu problematike razmjene zarobljenika izme\u0111u njema\u010dkih vojnih i civilnih slu\u017ebi i Narodnooslobodila\u010dkog pokreta sa svim njenim aspektima, uklju\u010duju\u0107i pravni, vojno-politi\u010dki, propagandni, i istoriografski. Drugim rije\u010dima, kroz prizmu razmjene se prikazuje i trnoviti put od statusa &#8220;bandita&#8221; do privilegovanog statusa ratnog zarobljenika koji su morali pro\u0107i jugoslovenski partizani, uloga kontakata sa neprijateljem u strategijama NOP-a i okupacione sile, va\u017enost zarobljenika u simboli\u010dnom smislu, te prikaz tretmana ove osjetljive teme u (post-) jugoslovenskoj istoriografiji i \u0161ire. Prvo poglavlje sadr\u017ei analizu Srbije kao &#8220;posebnog slu\u010daja&#8221;, u kojem razmjena nikad nije za\u017eivjela kao u drugim krajevima zemlje. Tema drugog poglavlja su kontakti ustanika sa njema\u010dkim i vlastima Nezavisne Dr\u017eave Hrvatske od ljeta 1941. do po\u010detka zime 1942\/43, sa akcentom na prvu veliku razmjenu kod Studenog Vrela. Tre\u0107e poglavlje se bavi vjerovatno najkontroverznijom ratnom epizodom, &#8220;Martovskim pregovorima 1943.&#8221; i Titovom odlukom da ponudi primirje na vrhuncu Bitke na Neretvi. \u010cetvrto, po mnogo\u010demu glavno, poglavlje donosi pri\u010du o neutralnoj zoni kod Pisarovine i centralnom kartelu za razmjenu zarobljenika, o tome kako je nastao, funkcionisao, i nestao. Peto poglavlje analizira efekat kartela na spremnost lokalnih komandi u svim krajevima zemlje da u\u0111u u sli\u010dne pregovore sa najbli\u017eim suparni\u010dkim jedinicama. \u0160esto poglavlje sadr\u017ei kratke zaklju\u010dne napomene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Audio-intervju sa autorom mo\u017eete poslu\u0161ati na:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-wordpress wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-warscholar\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"CFE42uWNb2\"><a href=\"http:\/\/warscholar.org\/wwii-military-history-book-parleying-with-the-devil-university-press-of-kentucky-2020-gaj-trifkovic-interview\/\">WWII military history book &#8211; &#8220;Parleying with the Devil&#8221; (University Press of Kentucky, 2020) &#8211; Gaj Trifkovic interview<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;WWII military history book &#8211; &#8220;Parleying with the Devil&#8221; (University Press of Kentucky, 2020) &#8211; Gaj Trifkovic interview&#8221; &#8212; WarScholar\" src=\"http:\/\/warscholar.org\/wwii-military-history-book-parleying-with-the-devil-university-press-of-kentucky-2020-gaj-trifkovic-interview\/embed\/#?secret=CFE42uWNb2\" data-secret=\"CFE42uWNb2\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Naslov: Parleying with the Devil: Prisoner Exchange in Yugoslavia 1941-1945<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Autor: Gaj Trifkovi\u0107<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Predgovor: Klaus Schmider<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Izdava\u010d: University Press of Kentucky\/Andarta Books<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Godina: 2020<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Broj stranica: 456<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jezik: engleski<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Zainteresirani za pisanje recenzije mogu se javiti uredniku portala Historiografija.hr na e-mail bjankovi@ffzg.hr<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Parleying with the Devil<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prisoner Exchange in Yugoslavia, 1941\u20121945<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New Perspectives on the Second World War<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>by <strong>Gaj Trifkovi\u0107<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Foreword by Klaus Schmider<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Published by: The University Press of Kentucky<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>456 pages<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Published: June 2020<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>The Second World War in Yugoslavia is notorious for the brutal struggle between the armed forces of the Third Reich and the communist-led Partisans. Less known is the fact that the two sides negotiated prisoner exchanges throughout the war. Under extraordinary circumstances, these early communications evolved into a formal exchange agreement centered on the creation of a neutral zone &#8212; quite possibly the only such area in occupied Europe &#8212; where prisoners were regularly exchanged until late April 1945, saving thousands of lives. The leadership on both sides used these points of contact to hold secret political talks, for which they were nearly branded as traitors by their superiors in Berlin and Moscow. <em>Parleying with the Devil<\/em> is the first comprehensive analysis of prisoner exchanges and the attendant contacts between the German occupation authorities and the Yugoslav Partisans. Trifkovi\u0107 argues that prisoner exchange had a decisive influence on prisoner of war policies on both sides and helped reduce the levels of violence for which this theater of war became infamous. <em>Parleying with the Devil<\/em> reveals that these points of contact, contrary to some claims, did not lead to collusion between these two parties against other Yugoslav factions or the Western Allies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gaj Trifkovi\u0107<\/strong>, PhD, is a Second World War historian based in Vienna, Austria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Deftly detailing the motives and actions of Tito&#8217;s Partisan movement and the German occupiers within the larger context of the war, Trifkovi\u0107 provides a masterful analysis of a neglected and complex topic. A trailblazing work that modifies our traditional understanding of the brutal war waged within Yugoslavia&#8217;s borders.&#8221; &#8212; Jeff Rutherford, author of <em>Combat and Genocide on the Eastern Front: The German Infantry&#8217;s War, 1941\u20141944<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Trifkovi\u0107&#8217;s <em>Parleying with the Devil<\/em> is a unique and monumental contribution to the literature on prisoners of war in the Second World War.
