Sumario: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 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).
