Acknowledgments
I am greatly indebted to many friends and colleagues without whom this work would have been considerably more flawed than it is, and to the various institutions who helped to make this work possible. The encouragement of my friend and mentor, Professor Dimitrije Djordjevic, I will always gratefully acknowledge. Professors Stephen Fischer-Galati, Peter Sugar, and Nicholas Pano and my colleague Professor Clifford Scott read part or all of this work and provided continuing encouragement through their useful comments and suggestions. My Albanian publisher, Brikena abej, and my friend Altin Rraxhimi also gave generously of their time to read the manuscript and offer important suggestions. Gabe Downs helped with the index and Elmer Denman with the photographs and maps. I would also like to acknowledge Debra Fehman and Barbara Blauvelt, whose encouragement and help were most welcome. Finally, I would like to thank the many individuals who provided assistance at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., the British Public Record office in Kew, the Nash archives at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies at the University of London, and the Auswrtiges Amt in Bonn.
