From February to November of 1906, California journalist Albert Sonnichsen made his way through the remnants of the Ottoman Empire, observing firsthand a country falling apart. Entrenched among a group of revolutionaries at war with the Greeks and Turks, he took special pleasure in seeking out the region's most notorious guerrillas (many of whom he captured in photographs). The prose is as taut and contemporary as the story is riveting-history as lived in the trenches, from one of the first "embedded" journalists. A native of San Francisco, ALBERT SONNICHSEN (1878-1931) worked as a foreign reporter for the New York Tribune, McClure's, and the New York Evening Post. He also wrote Ten Months a Captive Among Filipinos.

This review is from: CONFESSIONS OF A MACEDONIAN BANDIT: A Californian in the Balkan Wars (Paperback)
The book is well written, but if you purchase this book for getting to know more stuff about Macedonia and that period is not anything special, the ending is pointless and there is no total point of the books except explaning how life was then.
Also he mixed the terms Bulgarian, Bulgar and Macedonian. In one place he says the people spoke on pure Bulgarian, on other that they spoke on pure Macedonian dialect. Also he is "hanging out" with some of the Bulgarian and the Macedonian komitajis so he is confued during the whole time why they are fighting eachother.
