Malih pušaka nije bilo
The memoir by Pero Kovačević Cicvara presents a harrowing account of a childhood and coming-of-age marked by the suffering of war, the loss of family, and the struggle for survival.
The book Malih pušaka nije bilo (There Were No Small Rifles) by Pero Kovačević Cicvara is a deeply emotional and authentic memoir exploring the themes of a wartime childhood, the suffering of the civilian population, and the harsh fates endured by people across the former Yugoslavia during World War II. The title symbolically underscores the brutality of a war in which children were spared neither the horrors nor the loss of a carefree upbringing; the dangers and suffering of war struck adults and the youngest alike, without regard for age or any measure of mercy. Through personal recollections, the author vividly evokes the atmosphere of fear, the crowded conditions of displacement, the loss of loved ones, and the struggle for sheer survival amidst the harsh realities of war and its aftermath. Beyond its documentary and historical value, the work conveys a powerful anti-war message and pays tribute to all innocent victims. Written in an accessible and direct style, Malih pušaka nije bilo stands as a significant testament to the impact of historical upheavals on individuals and families, as well as the lasting scars war leaves on society's most vulnerable members.
