Like the other members of the extinct Warsaw Pact, Bulgaria has been immersed in reconstructing its economy and building a democratic government. At the same time, it is reforging national unity despite large religious and ethnic minorities at home and Bulgarian minorities abroad. The ''Historical Dictionary of Bulgaria'' is the most comprehensive and up-to-date reference work on this Balkan nation. It offers scholars a handy source on the important personalities, political parties, administrative structures, and recent events that are shaping the new Bulgaria. The dictionary's concise entries also describe the important people, places, and events in its past, as well as its economy, society, and culture. A selective bibliography allows access to further sources of information. This easy-to-use reference work also includes a chronology of Bulgarian history, a transliteration scheme for Cyrillic script, and lists of Bulgarian rulers, cabinets, and political parties and organizations. It provides an essential starting point for anyone interested in conducting research on the history or economic and political development of this Eastern European nation, and it will prove to be an invaluable reference tool.
