Scanderbeg From Ottoman Captive to Albanian Hero Paperback - 2005
by Harry Hodgkinson
First line
WHEN THE TURKISH armies first came to Europe to win for themselves the lands that the Byzantine emperors were no longer strong enough to rule, they quickly digested the succulent flesh of the Balkans: the rose-heavy valleys of Bulgaria, the Serbian plum orchards and the olive groves of Greece.
