Antigonus
II Gonatas: A Political Biography
by Janice J. Gabbert
Book Description:
Blunt, honest and tenacious, Antigonus II Gonatas assumed the title
King of Macedonia in 283 BC and reigned for more than forty years. Pragmatic
and occasionally ruthless, he was a well-educated man with a keen interest
in philosophy. He gathered about him poets, philosophers and historians;
his long reign, despite vicissitudes, re-established Macedonia as a nation.
Janice J. Gabbert portrays the eventful life of this enigmatic king in
a lively and engaging manner. Her aim is to trace the political career
of a man about whose life almost no official records survive. Taking into
account the most recent epigraphical evidence, the author brings to life
a fascinating political figure.This is the first study entirely devoted
to Antigonus for over eighty years.

Macedonia
to America and Back : A Biographical History of Dimitri Nasos
by Thomay Nestor
The Author
Macedonia in Northern Greece is closer than one thinks to the strife
in Yugoslavia. With the influx of refugees from Kosovo, Macedonians are
doing what they have always done--reaching out their hands to help those
in need. The author helps one understand the background of this troubled
area of Europe. The Macedonians themselves struggled for years with the
Bulgarians and the Turks. Because of the murder of his father by the Bulgarians,
sixteen-year-old Dimitri, the eldest son, had to flee for his life. While
his mother held the family together in Macedonia, in America this immigrant
boy moved from dishwasher to restauranteur to movie entrepreneur. He moved
among the nobility of the screen world, from Charlie Chaplin to Al Jolson.
However, he returned to his beloved Macedonia, always remembering his mother's
words: Accept whatever fate brings you; there's nothing we can do about
it. The essence of history, culture, and family pervades this book.

The
Miss Stone Affair : America's First Modern Hostage Crisis
by Teresa Carpenter
Book Description: On September 3, 1901, Miss Ellen Stone, an
American missionary, set out on horseback for a trek across the mountainous
hinterlands of Balkan Macedonia. In a narrow gorge she was attacked by
a band of masked men who carried her off the road and, more significantly,
onto the path of history. Stone would become the first American captured
for ransom on foreign soil.
In The Miss Stone Affair, master storyteller and Pulitzer Prize winner
Teresa Carpenter re-creates the drama of this country's first modern hostage
crisis -- an event that held the world's attention and dominated the headlines
in American and European dailies for months. Using a wealth of contemporary
correspondence and diplomatic cables, she constructs a narrative that is
suspenseful, harrowing, and at times even comical.
On a journey that takes the reader from Boston's Beacon Hill to Constantinople
and the bloody revolution-wracked nation-states of the Balkans, Carpenter
introduces an unforgettable cast of characters: the strong-willed Miss
Stone and her Bulgarian companion, Katerina Tsilka, who is brought along
by the kidnappers -- in deference to Victorian convention -- as a chaperone;
the terrorists who threaten to murder their hostages and yet are awed when
Tsilka gives birth to a baby girl; the diplomat who sees the Stone case
as a vehicle for his personal ambition; rival negotiators whom the terrorists
pit one against the other; a media mogul obsessed with finding the hostages
and securing their literary rights; and, of course, the new president,
Theodore Roosevelt, who must decide if he should, as many of his countrymen
are demanding, send warships to the Near East or if some quieter form of
intervention might win the day.
Teresa Carpenter has produced a turn-of-the-century international thriller
with precision, drama, and historical perspective. This is a story for
our time.
