Newspaper Illustrations of Armed Resistance to the Austrian Occupation of Bosnia
"The Habsburg army marched intro Bosnia and Hercegovina in 1878 with the arrogance of a great power expecting to humble an inferior opponent. The outcome was quite different.

Moslem led forces used guerilla tactics to great effect against the technically and numerically superior Habsburg force."
