- Summary:
- The evolution of Bulgaria is a fascinating journey from a backward and troubled Balkan state to a modern European nation. Richard Crampton's unique study traces the development of the Bulgarian people and their state, from the beginning of a national revival in the middle of the nineteenth century to imminent entry into the European Union. This ground-breaking book from the leading expert on Bulgaria examines its problematic position between east and west, and questions how much. becoming part of the EU will solve its dilemmas.
