A unique collection of diaries, memoirs, stories and letters of a total of 28 people, some of which are being published for the first time. Included are a variety of reminiscences by writers, poets, war correspondents, ordinary soldiers, staff and reserve officers. This book presents the personal experiences of Bulgarian soldiers and officers who participated in the bloody battles at Lake Doiran during the First World War. The Doira epic is often perceived as one of the most glorious pages in Bulgarian military history, but the present collection shifts the focus from triumphant accounts of victories to the human side of the conflict.
