A
new book, Historical Manual Against The Greek Anti-Macedonian Propaganda,
has been published in three languages, English, Macedonian and Greek.
Author and historian Aleksandar Donski said the book has testimonies
from nearly fifty ancient Greek and other classical authors who clearly
asserted that the Macedonians were a distinct people from the Hellenes.
It also cites differences in language and personal names, and among
other areas examines the gods and folk law that show the true nature
and differences between the two peoples. Mr Donski is confident that
the brochure will significantly help Macedonians in the Aegean part
of Macedonia to successfully oppose Greek denationalizing policies and
he encourages everyone to share the Greek language version among Greek
speaking Macedonians. The book is published by the Macedonian Literary
Association "Grigor Prlichev" of Sydney in collaboration with The Association
of the Macedonians from the Aegean part of Macedonia "Mirka Ginova"
of Stip. 
The
book, The Natural and the Artificial Nations – The Macedonians and the
Greeks, by Macedonian human rights campaigner in Greece, Traianos Pasois,
has been translated from Greek to English. Translator, Eugenia Natsoulidou,
said it is a very interesting book that deals with nations and ethnogenesis,
and with much historical information and facts from antiquity to the
Enlightenment and Nationalism of 19th century in Europe. The book discusses
the many ancient peoples of the Balkan peninsula and how nations emerge,
the known descriptions about the dominance of the Macedonians, the relationship
between the Macedonian and Greek languages, the origin and names of
the ancient Greeks, the conflict between indigenous people and foreigners,
and the modern Greeks and Macedonia. Pasois says that to justify the
occupation of half of Macedonia, the Greeks resort to a series of distortions
of history, and that in one century they have committed more crimes
than the Ottomans did in five centuries of occupation. The book is

1946 and 1960 the Australian security service ASIO monitored the activities
of the Macedonian Australian People's League, which was the publisher
of the Makedonska Iskra newspaper. The book Makedonsko Avstraliski Naroden
Sojuz (Dokumenti) 1946-1960 is a record of the reports, correspondence,
letters, memoranda and notes compiled by ASIO on the League and its
leaders. As part of its monitoring, ASIO regularly translated Makedonska
Iskra into English and these are also included. This book and its extensive
record of documents was initiated and the documents obtained, organized
and translated into Macedonian by editor in chief and historian Teon
Djingo and his team. Mr Djingo said ASIO's interest was part of the
post World War 2 Western government concerns about potential sympathies
with Moscow. ASIO officials created three volumes of documents on the
activities of Macedonians and these are now in the National Archives
of Australia. Mr Djingo said the book is intended as a gift to the Macedonians
in Australia. The book is

Diplomatic Rhapsody by Macedonian diplomat Risto Nikovski examines Macedonia's
position in international politics and diplomacy. Current times are
"decisive in many ways for the survival of both the state and the Macedonian
people," and the reasons are numerous and include "the extremely negative

for why everything is so bad is – ours, and ours alone" and that "the
solutions, not only can, but must be diplomatic." Nikovski discusses
numerous issues including the Macedonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs,

Mane Jakovleski. This is the full review with additional information
of particular interest to Macedonians and the child refugees. This includes
how the book, by professor Loring Danforth and associate professor Riki

the Macedonian and Greek children; discuss and compare side-by-side
the Communists' child refugee evacuation program and Eastern Bloc homes
with Queen Frederica's paidopoleis, her homes in Greece for "orphans
and abandoned children"; provide the best available statistics on the
refugees and Queen Frederica's children; and compare the claims of genocide
by both sides. The Macedonian version is
