Summary/Abstract: Mirko M. Kosić, Ph. D, belongs to the unfortunate generation that ex¬perienced two world wars, which shaped their lives and their careers, within a quarter of a century. World War 1 made the finishing of the education difficult, and World War 2 interrupted scientific and work in society. Among the members of that generation were Kosić's colleagues Đura Popović and Fedor Nikić, writers Ivo Andrić and Miloš Crnjanski, philosopher Justin Popović and Đorđe Tasić, who had paid the ultimate price. As student of classical gymnasium, Mirko Košić published his first written works that attracted the attention of the public. During the WW 1,1914-1918, he was in Serbian army and studied abroad, and after WW 1 he was University professor and public figure. During the WW 2 occupation of Yugoslavia, he had worked in the National Bank of Serbia. Towards the end of war, fleeing from persecution, he became a refugee once again, and remained a refugee until the end of his life.
