Excerpt from Pawns of Liberty: A Story of Fighting Yesterdays in the BalkansA good story should require no preface, and yet a word of explanation may add to the interest of the reader's acquaintance with the lives and characters revealed below.While the writers do not pose as the chroni clers of a true story, they are not narrating the imaginary troubles Of an imagined folk some where southeast Of Vienna. Pawns of Liberty has Macedonia-of - yesterday for its setting, but a good deal of its inspiration comes from the actual history of Bulgaria-of - the-day - before. The Bal kan War, and the revolts of the Bulgar natives in Macedonia which preceded it, only continued the Bulgarian struggle for liberation which made the sixties and seventies of thealast century years of tragic glory in the Balkans. The children of the Bulgarian '76 became the leaders of the Mace donian revolts during the past two decades. For Macedonia and Thrace are inhabited largely by Bulgars, and the revolution was naturally a Bul garian movement.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
