I have a duty to thank the Archives Service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and especially the former Director Mr. Athanasios Politis, who allowed me to research the Archive of the Macedonian Struggle and to obtain all the historical details I needed for my book. I also thank all those who, whether near or far, were connected to the Macedonian Struggle and who so willingly provided me with photographs, letters, diaries, mementos, and descriptions, which informed me about that heroic era.
