Review # 1 was written on 2020-11-16 00:00:00 Beth Clarke I read this book because my son's girlfriend is from Bulgaria and I didn't know much about the country. I got it from her for Christmas. I learned some things like the Balkan Mountains are in Bulgaria, it is at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, and the capitol is Sofia. It has changed its borders many times and its history was a little hard to follow since I knew so little about it before I read it and because it always seemed to.be at the mercy of its neighbors like Turkey and Russia. I will probably have to read it again. I did learn that family is very important to Bulgarians and it is important to me too.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-07-29 00:00:00 Dean Lakovic Read before/during trip to Bulgaria. Useful introduction to Bulgarian history, written in a transparent style. I kind of lost interest with all the political stuff -- X trying to get rid of Y, and parties A, B, C and their struggles -- but you did kind of have to know it to make sense of the history, I guess. Anyway, definitely helped give me an idea of what had been going on in the region, and it was a lot less dry than I thought it would be.
