MACEDONIA
An Illustrated History
With
Maps, Photographs and Biographies
The purpose for writing this book is to address some of the comments expressed
by readers of my earlier book “History of the Macedonian People
from Ancient Times to the Present”, mainly the lack of maps, illustrations
and the absence of an index.
The aim of this book, as a supplement to my earlier book, is to provide
readers with the extra information such as maps, photographs and biographies
needed to give the characters human faces and the cities and towns a place
on the map.
This book can be a supplement to my earlier book or it can stand on its
own, delivering a well illustrated condensed version of Macedonia’s
history from ancient times to 1950.
Although designed for the general reader, the book is organized with
an index and a multiple subject table of contents for easy access, ideal
for research.
The book is written in the English language specifically for the younger
generations in the Diaspora who want to learn Macedonian history but do
not necessarily have the time or resources to do long and extensive research.
Besides providing a comprehensive historical analysis, this book contains
valuable information collected from interviews and personal experiences
that cannot be found anywhere else.
The following best illustrates the material in this book
