4.0 out of 5 stars King Zog, July 11, 2001
By A Customer
As a collector of Albanian coins, and specifically King Zog era Albanian coins, I found the book absolutely fascinating. A wee bit academic in it's approach, and lacking illustrations, it is still a MUST read book for anyone interested in the Zog period of Albanian history. If you are familliar with Egyptian history of the King Farouk period, you will see many similarities in their reign. Both kings were adept at playing the diplomatic game for a while, only to end up being jerked around by friend and foe alike.

The last chapter of the Zog book is especially interesting, as it covers the years Zog spent in exile, jumping from country to country. Somewhat of a sad ending, but the book really made the coins in my collection come alive. Coins, which, are probably some of the most beautiful issues from any nation on the planet during the 20th century.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well, it was night when I finished., May 6, 2000
By Matt Swasey (Chinatown, Washington D.C.) - See all my reviews
I would like to personally thank Bernd for bringing me the knowlage of such a great yet tradgic man. The idea that the albanian rallies could amount to such horrid tales of delusion and defeat makes me proud to be american. I don't take risks with books. So don't take a risk and loose this one. I love it. I ring her (girl from a few houses down)up, and ask if sheis in love with me. .... again.
