Similar to the book by Rossos but organized more by topic and issue, and less so by historical perspective. Poulton also devotes quite a bit of time to the various ethnic groups within Macedonia, their history, and the history of interethnic relations. The section on modern Macedonia and the issues and conflicts currently affecting politics is very thorough - Albanian, Macedonian relations; the republic's name issue; separatist tendencies, long-term viability of the state.
A good followup read to a general history.
