Sažetak
The authors have been exploring and trying to expose a long-lasting military career of one of the great Croats, using archive sources in Zagreb and Vienna. Nowadays his name has been forgotten, but during the 18th century he had been accomplished unbelievable deeds and successes that were celebrated all across the Croatian historical territories. His name is Joseph Siskovich (in historical literature Siskovics, Sisckovich or Žišković), and he was born on 2 July, 1719, in Szegedin (today Szeged), Southern Hungary and died on 4 February, 1783, in Prague, Bohemia. Due to his extraordinary courage and talent in military art and science he received the title of the Imperial Count. His numerous achievements during Austrian Army campaigns and battles provided him with the highest ranks: General Feldwachtmeister (1757-1759), Feldmarshal Lieutenant (1759-1766), Feldzeugmeister (1766- 1783), and, for the most distinguished officers, the Commander Cross of the Maria Theresa Order.
