This book tells of events that most of us find tragic. It is dedicated to the decades during which the Bulgarians and their countries are confronted with the invading Turks from Asia Minor, and by the middle of the fourteenth century, they are being expanded by the Ottoman Turks. Initially, more than half a century before becoming the victim of the invasion, many of our distant compatriots from Thrace realize that the danger must be stopped before it is transferred to Europe.

Alas, no one takes this urge seriously. As a result, after a while, the Bulgarian lands began to suffer from sporadic and then regular rapacious raids by various Anatolian beyliks. Between them, Ottoman beylik stands out with its power and aggression. It has been assigned to conquer the Bulgarian states and to becomе, albeit slowly, a powerful Islamic empire. In the XVIth century, it spreads over three continents: Asia, Europe and Africa.

Повествованието е увлекателно и подходящо дори за обикновения читател като мен. Разглеждат се последните два века от историята на Балканския полуостров, като изложението е фокусирано върху българските държави и причините за османската експанзия. Анализират се и историческите източници и се споменават тези, които се смятат за не чак толкова достоверни. Бих препоръчал това за всеки, който се интересува от средновековна българска история.
