Agrarianism has received relatively little attention from scholars
interested in the modern history of Eastern Europe. Contending that
an understanding of the agrarian constribution is necessary for an
appraisal of the full dynamic of Eastern European politics, John D.
Bell explors the history of the Bulgarian Agrarian National Union,
the strongest of the East European organizations. Tracing the
union's career from its founding to its overthrow in 1923, the
author discusses the reasons for its appearnce, its ideology and
program, and its accomplishments and failure in both domestic and
foreign policy. He concentrates in particular on the career of
Alexander Stamboliski, who guided and inspired the BANU during its
rise to power. This book is thus a comprehensive, objective
biography of both a movement and a man. John D. Bell is Associate
Professor of History at the University of Maryland, Baltimore
County. Originally published in 1977. The Princeton Legacy Library
uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available
