A Concise History of Bulgaria > Customer Review #2:
Good starting point

This is an excellent book that serves its stated purpose. Most shortcomings are related to the impossibility of summing up 1400 years of history in less than 300 pages. My main qualms are (1) that the emergence of the "Macedonian Question" is not elaborated clearly enough; and (2) that for a book that continuously (and rightly) underscores the theme of territorial frustration in Bulgarian history, the maps are absolutely useless. To fill in this deficiency, I would direct the reader to the excellent _Palgrave Concise Historical Atlas of Eastern Europe_ by Dennis Hupchick and Harold Cox. They also produced a similar atlas of the Balkans. Either would work to clarify the myriad territorial complexities of Eastern European and Balkan history.

Good overview but could use more information on Ottoman rule

This is a thorough basic history of Bulgaria. It covers every major topic and most important events but does not spend too much time on any one event. It also does not bog you down with frivolous details. The book is very readable and moves along in a fluid chronological order. The only real shortcoming is the lack of information on the Ottoman Rule, which is so important to Bulgarian history. I was also hoping for some more details on the early Khans.
