Bulgaria in British Foreign Policy, 19431949

The succession of Great Power influences in the Balkans played a key role in shaping Bulgaria's international place and the configuration of the country's domestic policy. This book explores Britain's involvement in Bulgaria between 1943 and 1949 and revisits the question of British attitudes towards Eastern Europe. Using recently released sources from the Bulgarian and Soviet communist parties and foreign ministries, the author offers new insight into understanding the nuanced origins of the Cold War in Bulgaria, and bridges significant gaps in the treatment of the country in English-language literature.
