The article presents the most important events in the life of Gojko Šušak. In Croatian historiography, there is still not a single scien- tific paper written about the life and work of Croatian Minister of Defense Gojko Šušak in the Homeland War, not to mention a complete synthesis. The article is based mainly on scientific litera- ture and on the basis of that literature a research basis was made to study Šušak's contribution to the establishment of the Republic of Croatia, the structure of the Croatian army and finally the vi- ctory in the Homeland War and the end of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The article is conceived in such a way that it chronologically deals with the most important events from Šušak's life, which include the period of his youth, activities and life in Canada, and finally the political duty he performed as Minister of Defense during the Homeland War. Consequently, we present a chapter in which the media-intelligence war against Šušak is analyzed, who was the target of journalistic-intelligence attacks at the time of his duty, and these attacks have not stopped even today. He is criticized for his attitude towards Bosnia and Herzegovina, ie towards Croats and the Croatian Republic of Herceg Bosna. Precisely because of these accusations by political opponents in the Republic of Croatia, Šušak was targeted by the Hague Tribunal in 1997, but this legal battle was lost by the Hague Tribunal in a short period of time. The article emphasizes Šušak's formation of the Croatian Army and the legacy he left as Minister of Defense. ; U članku se iznose najvažniji događaji iz života Gojka Šuška.

Protukomunističke gerile su naoružane skupine koje su se u poratnome razdoblju suprotstavljale novouspostavljenomu komunističkom režimu. Širokobriješka protukomunistička gerila bila je jedna od najbrojnijih u zapadnoj Hercegovini poslije Drugoga svjetskog rata, a vojno i politički organizirali su se u lipnju 1946. te utemeljili Prvi hercegovački ustaško-križarski zdrug pod zapovjedništvom ustaškoga satnika Bože Mandića. Politički cilj protukomunističke gerile bio je rušenje komunizma zbog zločina koje su partizani počinili nad Hrvatima i drugim narodima pred kraj Drugoga svjetskog rata i nakon njegova završetka. Komunistička partija Jugoslavije (KPJ) označila je navedenu gerilu kao prijetnju za proces uspostave vlasti. Pomoću represivnoga aparata KPJ organizirala je niz kaznenih ekspedicija s ciljem likvidiranja istih na prostoru zapadne Hercegovine. Protukomunistička gerila je u poraću, u borbi za život, u uvjetima stalnih sumnjičenja, izdaja i pogibija od strane tajne policije KPJ, počinila zločine najčešće prema narodnim odbornicima, njihovim obiteljima i članovima Saveza komunističke omladine Jugoslavije (SKOJ). Agenti UDBA-e u početku nisu imali uspjeha u likvidaciji protukomunističke gerile te je KPJ utemeljenjem dobrovoljačke milicije i angažiranja uhoda po selima organizirala niz kaznenih ekspedicija u kojima su agenti UDBA-e od 1946. do 1948. pobili većinu širokobriješke protukomunističke gerile. Preostale uhvaćene širokobriješke gerile osudili su na smrt strijeljanjem ili na višegodišnju robiju. ; Anti-communist guerrillas are armed groups who opposed the newly established Communist regime in the post-war period. Široki Brijeg anti-communist guerrilla was one of the most numerous in West Herzegovina after the Second World War. They were organized militarily and politically in June 1946 and established the First Herzegovinian Ustasha Crusader Association under the command of Ustasha captain Božo Mandić. Political aim of the anti-communist guerrilla was destroying communism because of the crimes done by Partisans over Croats and other nations before the end of the Second World War and after its end. Communist Party of Yugoslavia (KPJ) labeled the mentioned guerrilla as a threat to the process of establishing authority. Using the repressive apparatus KPJ organized numerous punitive expeditions in order to eliminate mentioned guerrillas at the territory of West Herzegovina. Fighting for life in the post-war period, constantly suspected, betrayed and executed by the secret police of KPJ, anti-communist guerrilla committed crimes mostly against national councilors, their families and members of the Young Communist League of Yugoslavia (SKOJ). UDBA agents were not successful in eliminating the anti-communist guerrilla at the beginning. After establishment of Dubrovnik Militia and engaging spies in villages KPJ organized numerous expeditions from 1946 to 1948 in which UDBA agents killed majority of Široki Brijeg anti-communist guerrilla. Other captured members of the guerrilla were sentenced to death by firing squad or to multiannual imprisonment.
