...Ireneusz Adam Slupkov's book is an objective account of the tragic fate of Aegean Macedonia. Slupkov used all the scientific literature on policy of the CPG towards the Macedonian question. The author objectively assesses the policy of the CPG in the years 1918-1940. --Professor Kole Simiczijew, University of Wroclaw, Poland

...What this book essentially offers us is a clear and concise after-the-fact account of the decisive role of the Communist Party of Greece in the tragic fate of the Macedonian people in the first half of the 20th century in Aegean Macedonia. --Professor Michael Seraphinoff, Macedonian Studies, Cardiff, Wales, UK

..At different periods the 'Macedonian Question' has been at the heart of the Balkan politics. Ever since the partition of Macedonia in the Balkan Wars 1912/1913, Athens and Sofia, and Belgrade until the Second World War have employed chauvinistic policies to prevent the development and nourishment of a Macedonian national sentiment. What is particularly repugnant in this context is that this long lasting process has been by and large ignored by the international academic community. This book tries to fill in this gap by thoroughly treating the attitude of the Greek Communist Party concerning the rights and the demands of the Macedonians of what is known as Aegean Macedonia (Northern Greece). It is both an excellent analysis of a specific case study and a powerful tool for further thinking by social scientists dealing with the "problem" of nationalism. The author has been able to critically assess the historical circumstances in which the Macedonians have worked on achieving autonomous rights in the Kingdom of Greece. --Professor Zhidas Daskalovski, University of Cyril and Methodius, Macedonia
