Kadar zremo v gradove in trdnjave, nam to prej ko ne zbuja romantične predstave o minulem svetu. A resnica o tovrstnih objektih je navadno povsem drugačna. Kot nas v spremni besedi opozori Jadran Strle, "na mrtvega sovražnika pozabi že druga, tretja generacija, za njim pa ostanejo porušeni ali ohranjeni vojaški objekti, ki napotijo obiskovalca v temne strani zgodovine ...". Utrdbe so torej znamenja naše vojaške zgodovine in k temu nas odlično napelje avtor Aleksander Jankovič Potočnik. Njegov "vodnik po utrdbah v Sloveniji in bližnji okolici" nam z visoko strokovnim interdisciplinarnim pristopom, ki kombinira arhitekturna, arheološka in multimedijska znanja, izjemno plastično približa vlogo in aktivni čas utrdb na Slovenskem - skupaj z zgodovinskim okvirjem in izpričanimi zgodbami, ki so se spletle okrog njih. Za vse ljubitelje pohodništva ter slovenske vojaške in kulturne zgodovine.

Merriam Press Military Monograph 114. Third Edition (April 2012). This is the story of the Rupnik Line, the Vallo Alpino and other fortifications of the Ljubljana Gap in the former Yugoslavia before, during and after World War II. They are covered in detail by a Slovenian author who has visited, researched and recorded the existing remains. This book deals mainly with two fortification systems controlling the passage through the so-called Ljubljana Gap. These are the eastern part of the Vallo Alpino, built by Fascist Italy, and the Rupnik Line, built by the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in the first half of the twentieth century. While Vallo Alpino, thanks to its other parts, especially those along the border with France, was to some degree known, hardly anybody had ever heard about the Rupnik Line. Even within the borders of the former Yugoslavia these fortifications were either unheard of or forgotten. Contents: * Acknowledgments * Chapter 1: Introduction * Chapter 2: The Ljubljana Gap: The Geography * Chapter 3: The History of Military Developments and Fortifying of the Area * Chapter 4: The Eastern Part of 'Vallo Alpino': The Unknown Eastern Part * Chapter 5: The Rupnik Line * Chapter 6: The War * Chapter 7: The Ring of Wire * Chapter 8: Europe's Soft Underbelly or the Ljubljana Gap Strategy * Chapter 9: Discovering the Rupnik Line * Chapter 10: Epilogue * Sources * Appendix: Plans of Individual Forts of the Eastern Part of Vallo Alpino * 167 maps, plans, sketches, and wartime as well as present day photos of the remains of the bunkers, turrets and other fortifications of the area.

After the Napoleonic Wars the borders of Central Europe were redrawn and relative peace endured across the region, but the volatile politics of the late nineteenth century generated an atmosphere of fear and distrust, and it gave rise to a new era of fortress building, and this is the subject of this highly illustrated new study. The authors describe how defensive lines and structures on a massive scale were constructed along national frontiers to deter aggression. The Germans, Austro-Hungarians and Czechs all embarked on ambitious building programmes. Artillery positions, barbed-wire networks, casemates, concrete bunkers, trench lines, observation posts all sprang up in a vain attempt to keep the peace and to delay the invader. The strategic thinking that gave rise to these defensive schemes is described in detail in this study, as is the planning, design and construction of the lines themselves. Their operational history in wartime, in particular during the Second World War, is a key element of the account.

"Much needed. Fills an existing gap in the historical period with a wide range of examples from all over the world."--Margarita Díaz-Andreu, author of A World History of Nineteenth-Century Archaeology: Nationalism, Colonialism, and the Past "Provides new, nuanced perspectives that will inspire studies in the materiality of identity creation and transformation in the past and its role in heritage creation in the present."--Stephen A. Brighton, author of Historical Archaeology of the Irish Diaspora: A Transnational Approach "Thoughtful, challenging, and original. Expands the spatial and temporal parameters of the growing literature on nationalism and national identity."--Philip L. Kohl, coeditor of Selective Remembrances: Archaeology in the Construction, Commemoration, and Consecration of National Pasts The Country Where My Heart Is explores the archaeology of the period during which modern nationalism developed. While much of the previous research has focused on how governments and other institutions manipulate the archaeology of the distant past for ideological reasons, the contributors to this volume articulate what material artifacts of the modern world can reveal about the rise and fall of modern nationalism and national identities. They explore themes of colonialism, religion, political power and struggle, mythmaking, and the formation of heritage and memory not only in modern nation-states but also in places where the geographical boundaries of a "homeland" are harder to draw. Featuring case studies from northwestern and Central Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Americas, the essays examine how historical archaeology informs the concept of national identity and the formation of the modern nation and how this identity is intimately and inseparably entangled with, yet still distinct from, ethnicity and race. Alasdair Brooks, honorary visiting fellow at the University of Leicester, is the editor of The Importance of British Material Culture to Historical Archaeologies of the Nineteenth Century. Natascha Mehler, senior researcher at the German Maritime Museum and honorary reader at the University of the Highlands and Islands, Scotland, is the editor of Historical Archaeology in Central Europe.
