Guardians of the oficial narrative? Sketches of a literature of veterans of the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina (1992-1995) from publications by members of the ARBiH Fifth Corps

In Bosnia-Herzegovina, three incompatible with each other official narratives about the last war (1992-1995) can be identified, which are supported by political-institutional projects with different ideas about what the country should be. However, they have one thing in common: the hierarchical role...

However, they have one thing in common: the hierarchical role assigned to the war veterans. Although a large number of ex-combatants have written books and articles on the conflict, literature has neglected the possibilities offered by a systematic analysis of them, especially with regard to their links with the official narratives. Focusing on the so-called intra-Bosniak conflict because of the tensions it presents to one of those narratives, this article aims to explore the aforementioned by resorting to three books written by members of the Fifth Corps of the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina (which took part in these conflicts). En Bosnia-Herzegovina se identifican tres narrativas oficiales sobre la últi-ma guerra (1992-1995), incompatibles entre sí y sustentadas en proyectos político-institucionales con ideas diferentes sobre lo que debería ser el país. Sin embargo, un punto en común entre ellas se halla en el jerárquico papel otorgado a los veteranos de guerra. Pese a que un número elevado de antiguos combatientes han publicado libros y artículos en los que refieren al conflicto, la literatura ha descuidado indagar en las posibilidades que ofrece un análi-sis sistemático de los mismos, en especial en lo que respecta a sus vínculos con las narrativas oficiales. Tomando como eje, debido a las tensiones que le presenta a una de dichas narrativas, al denominado conflicto intrabosnia-co (en sí, poco trabajado), este artículo se propone explorar lo mencionado anteriormente recurriendo a tres libros escritos por integrantes del Quinto Cuerpo del Ejército de la República de Bosnia-Herzegovina (que fue parte de ese enfrentamiento).
