A rare book from 1986, focused on the then ongoing "Revival process" aimed at assimilation of Muslim minority in Bulgaria.

It is the wish of the publishers to ameliorate the conditions of the Muslim Turkish minority in Bulgaria. To this end, they have produced this small book, compiled from various sources, to bring the plight of these ethnic Turks to the attention of the English- reading public. The Bulgarian Government’s continued refusal to allow the free press to visit the areas where the Muslim Turks live can only be seen as corroboration of the accusations made against it. This book sets out the main accusations, with documentation to substantiate them. It is hoped that, in this way, the pressure of world public opinion may deter the Bulgarian Government from continuing its policy of oppression and discrimination. As we are all “involved in mankind”, it is our duty not to allow such acts of inhumanity to go on unchallenged.

The book is in excellent condition with no signs of wear.
