Summary/Abstract: Memoirs by Dr. Fadil Pitic were published in the book “All my war hospitals: from Maoča to Treskavica: (1992-1995)” covering the war and post-war period in Bosnia and Herzegovina and represent records interesting from the narratological, biographical and historical aspect. Memoirs are subjective records of the author, supported by photographs, solutions, decisions in the form of documents, diary entries, etc., which seek to prove the truth of the story and objectivity. Dr. Pitic writes memoirs describing events in which he directly participated, as a creator. and participant. The story of the war covers the period from 1992, when Prim. Dr. Pitic left his family and went first to Maoca, where he formed the War Hospital for the Wounded from the Brcko Battlefield, then described his departure to Gracanica and his many years of work at the War Hospital in Soko, a medical team with which he performs demanding surgical operations. Although this book predominantly covers the war period, the author gives a more extensive review of the establishment of the war General Hospital and his work in Gračanica in the post-war years. Unlike his hometown of Brčko, where he was unjustifiably marginalized, silenced and neglected, Prim.Dr. Pitic in Gracanica still enjoys a great reputation and respect of the citizens, about which he reveals with undisguised pleasure a number of details in this book.
