Macedonia and the Macedonians: A History

A comprehensive and enlightening exploration of one of the world's most historically rich and intriguing regions. Authored by an expert on the subject matter, this book delves deep into the history, culture, and identity of Macedonia and its people, shedding light on the complex and often misunderstood aspects of this Balkan nation.One of the book's strengths lies in its meticulous research. The author presents a balanced and well-sourced account of Macedonia's historical journey, from its ancient roots as the homeland of Alexander the Great to its struggles under various empires and its quest for modern statehood. This thorough historical account helps readers grasp the complex tapestry of Macedonia's past and its relevance to the present struggle of the Macedonians. The Macedonians are simply Macedonians and nothing else.

This is the only popular history of Macedonia of which I am aware. Whether you consider the North Macedonian nationality ancient or invented, it's worth reading.

Finally, an historically accurate account of the history of Macedonians. Whether contemporary Macedonians are descended from Alexander the Great or not does not matter - they are a culturally unique people that have inhabited a region once known as Macedonians for hundreds of years. If you want to know the truth about Macedonian history without being mislead by Greek, Bulgarian and Serbian nationalist propaganda, Rossos is a great source of this information. Bit of a dry read, admittedly, but the content at hand is difficult to find online, due to a wealth of misinformation and nationalistic arguing.

Nice to see such a book rich in comprehensive and non biased opinions. Shines a light on Macedonians as a nation and their struggle for their national rights and state over so many centuries

I bought this book for dad for his birthday. He was born in modern day "Greece" which was once part of Macedonia, as this book will explain. Upon reading this book, he was amazed at how accurate the information was, exactly the way it happened to his family. This is the real untold history of Macedonia. Praise to all the research that went into it's making!
