Spomenik’ the Serbo-Croat/Slovenian word for ‘monument’ – refers to a series of memorials built in Tito’s Republic of Yugoslavia from the 1960s-1990s, marking the horror of the occupation and the defeat of Axis forces during World War II. Hundreds were built across the country, from coastal resorts to remote mountains. Through these imaginative forms of concrete and steel, a classless, forward–looking, socialist society, free of ethnic tensions, was envisaged.
Instead of looking to the ideologically aligned Soviet Union for artistic inspiration, Tito turned to the west and works of abstract expressionism and minimalism. As a result, Yugoslavia was able to develop its own distinct identity through these brutal monuments, which were used as political tools to articulate Tito’s personal vision of a new tomorrow. Today, following the breakup of the country and the subsequent Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s, some have been destroyed or abandoned. Many have suffered the consequences of ethnic tensions – once viewed as symbols of hope they are now the focus of resentment and anger.
This book brings together the largest collection of spomeniks published to date. Each has been extensively photographed and researched by the author, to make this book the most comprehensive survey of this obscure and fascinating architectural phenomenon.
A fold-out map on the reverse of the dust jacket shows the exact location of each spomenik using GPS coordinates.

评分迷恋巨大沉默物体
评分每座纪念碑都有详细的坐标经纬度、完工时间、设计师姓名、尺寸及材质介绍。历史背景部分比较涨知识，有关前南斯拉夫以及如今的黑山共和国、克罗地亚、斯洛文尼亚、塞尔维亚、科索沃和波斯尼亚。纪念碑如今的状态介绍有时让人悲喜交加。封皮是张纪念碑坐标地图，清晰明了。总体是本不错的旅游指南。
