Talk:Savić Marković Štedimlija

thread_title:  Untitled 

message: It has nothing to do with me, but then's ideology.
What Stedimlija was saying then was insane to people as much as what Jevrem Brkovic is saying now. I don't care if Montenegrins are "really" Serbs or not (which is a question of both immoral and nonsensical definitions), but we cannot rewrite what happened then. To tell a Montenegrin he's not a Serb (whatever that meant) back then would be like calling Miodrag (of the Liberal Party) a Chetnik today.
Besides, the remains still "scar" the world. In the world, history of Montenegro is still treated as "became out of Serbs" in practically everywhere - from the LaRousse, Brockhaus and Britannica encyclopedias, across the CIA World Factbook to all media reporters like BBC, CNN and Times - it's even more extreme than the situation in Austria, they believe that Montenegrins are "real" Serbs. Considering how 100 years are needed to purge/change these things... who knows how will it take... --PaxEquilibrium 12:09, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm curious to know why At Dawn We Slept redirects to this wiki page instead of having its own wiki page. I see that, at the time of my typing this text, At Dawn We Slept is a red link meaning that either the world thinks that this book isn't notable enough to have its own wiki page or no one has been bothered to write that article.
As for myself, I know almost nothing of the book–and indeed haven't read it as yet–though I have read some of the introduction of the revised paperback. In that introduction, there is talk about Prange having written multiple volumes on the topic of Pear Harbor and those multiple volumes being distilled down into the book we call At Dawn We Slept. One fact does not a notable book make, but the book is the definitive book on a very notable subject.
