Salonica, city of ghosts by Mark Mazower.
Absolutely amazing! I have never read such a well written, unprejudiced book about the coexistence of Greeks and Turks, Christians and Muslims.
As a reader is mentioning in his comments about the book,
"Salonika was an anachronism. Unlike most of Europe, where nations had been formed around a major city or a capital, and where ethnic and religious minorities had been absorbed, expelled, killed, or at least marginalized in some fashion, in Salonika different groups lived shoulder to shoulder for over 400 years".
I would highly recommend it to 'anyone with an interest in Greek or Turkish history. This should also appeal to readers with a general interest in the subject of nationalism and national identity.'

However, what I have seen, is that these guys are spamming everyone, but they don't bother to trouble you much, if you just ignore them, or you -politely- make it clear that you're not interested. I don't ever bother to mark them as spam, cause they are simply harmless.
