Acknowledgments
Without the help of many good spirits, this volume would not have seen the light of day. We would like to acknowledge the assistance of the colleagues and institutions that actively supported the publication of this book, and to express our sincere gratitude. Dr. Wolfgang Levermann of the Volkswagen Foundation has been sympathetic to the project from our initial proposal to organize the conference “The Balkan Wars 1912/13: Experience, Perception, Remembrance” in Istanbul to the completion of the present volume.

Prof. Dr. Mehmet Hacısalihoğlu of the Center for Balkan and Black Sea Studies at Yıldız Technical University and his student assistants organized the conference perfectly in beautiful Istanbul, providing a congenial infrastructure and setting for fruitful discussions. Aiveen Donnelly, Lena Maria Fuchs, Christian Mady, Kathleen Luft, and Zoe Roth assisted us in the preparation of the manuscript. A special thanks to Jim Gibbons an
