Bulgaria is slated to become a member of the European Union in 2007, yet its history is amongst the least well-known in the rest of the continent. R. J. Campton provides here a general introduction to this country at the crossroads of Christendom and Islam. The text and illustrations trace the rich and dramatic story from prehistory, through the days when Bulgaria was the centre of a powerful mediaeval empire and the five centuries of Ottoman rule, to the cultural renaissance of the nineteenth century and the political upheavals of the twentieth, upheavals which led Bulgaria into three wars. The new and updated edition covers the years from 1995 to 2004, a vital period in which Bulgaria endured financial meltdown, set itself seriously on the road to reform, elected its former king as prime minister, and finally secured membership of NATO and admission to the European Union.

All[xv] too often in the west we tend to blur the distinction between the nation and the state; when the Portuguese delegate suggested to the first meeting of the League of Nations that the organisation would be better called the League of States he was told that the difference was too insignificant to bother about. No-one who had any connection with the Balkans would make that mistake. And if this book is called A Concise History of Bulgaria it is also to some degree a concise history of the Bulgarians after they had arrived in the Balkans in the seventh century. For the most part the book concentrates on the various Bulgarian states but it cannot ignore the[xvi] fate of the Bulgarians during the five hundred years when they were part of the Ottoman empire and there was no Bulgaria.

By[5] the fourth century Roman power was weakening. Internal problems were compound when tribes from the Asiatic steppes raided the north-east of the Balkans. In the following century ultimately fatal damage was inflicted on the Roman body politic by a series of such invaders who included on the Alani, the Goths and the Huns, all of whom were enticed by the prospect of looting the fabled wealth of Byzantium. They failed in that aspiration and soon moved out of the Balkans in search of fresh plunder, but if these invaders were transient, the Slavs who also first appeared in the fifth century, were[8] not. They were settlers. They colonised areas of the eastern Balkans and in the seventh century other Slav tribes combined with the Proto-Bulgars, a group of Turkic origin, to launch a fresh... (查看原文)

作者认为保加利亚人过于内省避世，波格米勒派的盛行导致其对政府和政治的消极态度，对于土耳其和苏联的统治都不像其它邻国那样有过激烈反抗。并认为这些倾向有碍保加利亚在当代的发展，

写一部通史实属不易，作者也提到了日夫科夫政权末期的土耳其民族政策和核工业引发的健康和环境问题。对于当代史也着手记载。但是最后的结论有点画蛇添足。就地缘政治视角来说，保加利亚始终面对来自小亚细亚的压力，无论是拜占庭还是奥斯曼帝国。如果民族特性是对政治消极，那不会有第二保加利亚王国和chiprovtsi起义，四月起义。现实世界三巨头秘密分割欧洲，如若不是看重希，土的战略价值，恐怕徒增“不抵抗”国家。
