Hey Guys - here's my recommeded reading list

Ancient Macedonia
Alexander of Macedon 356-323 B.C - A historical Biography
Peter Green

Really good biography on Alexander the man.

In the Shadow of Olympus - The Emergence of Macedon
Eugene N. Borza

Really interesting analysis on the early development of the Macedonian nation

Ancient Macedonians - Difference between The Ancient Macedonians and The Ancient Greeks
J.S.G Gandeto

Okay book. Not much to it.

The Generalship of Alexander the Great
J.F.C Fuller

Real good analysis of Alexander's incredible military genius

Alexander the Great and the Logistics of the Macedonian Army
Donald W. Engels

An amazing look at how well Alexander thought through and executed his campaigns. It gets into the detail of rations and distance travelled etc but it just shows you how good a fighting machine the macedonians were.

Modern Macedonia
The Past in Question - Modern Macedonia and the Uncertainties of Nation
Keith Brown

Gives a really interesting perspective on Macedonian history and how it has evolved in Macedonia's short period of nationahood.

Fields of Wheat, Hills of Blood by Karakasidou was mentioned earlier. Good read on Macedonians living in greece from a greek perspective

Who are the Macedonians?
Hugh Poulton

Short historical outline of Macedonia.

Diary of an Uncivil War - The violent Aftermath of the Kosovo Conflict
Scott Taylor

The Macedonian Conflict - Ethnic Nationalism in a transnational world
Loring M Danforth

Interesting read on the conflict with Greece and particularly relevant to those Macedonians living in Asutralia

Macedonia and Greece - The struggle to Define a New Balkan Nation
John Shea

Good read. John Shea is a professor in Newcastle University (Aus) and married to a Macedonian woman. I believe she has passed away though.

Macedonia Warlords & Rebels in the Balkans
John Phillips

This book is quite critical of Macedonians during our conflict with Albanians. Still worth reading to understand the things that we did badly.

Balkan
Black Lamb and Grey Falcon
Rebecca West

Really massive book about an english couples trip through yugoslavia before WW2. The book can be really boring however it is also really rewarding as you learn lots of little tidbits about slavic history. Haven't got to the Macedonian chapters yet but there is over 200 pages on their trip to Macedonia

Balkan Ghosts
Robert D Kaplan

Good read but warning auther takes the Macedonians = Bulgars line. Interesting collection of stories from the Balkans.

The Balkans since 1453
LS Stavrianos

Again Macedonians = Bulgars warning but good read about the Balkans under Ottoman / Austrian rule and the emergence of the balkan states.

the Serbs - History, Myth & the Destruction of Yugoslavia
Tim Judah

The undertakes some Serb bashing. However found the book a good read on Serbian history.

To Kill a Nation - The Attack on Yugoslavia
Michael Parenti

Seemed to me like a fairly hard core communist book. I think the author has lost his grip on reality.

The Bridge on the Drina (Novel)
Ivo Andric

Really good novel set in Bosnia. Its a novel about the history of the people of Bosnia told through the history of a bridge. This won't make sense until you read the book.
