Summary/Abstract: Here is published the diary, kept during the Balkan war, by one of the prominent Bulgarian politicians before September 9th 1944, minister of public buildings, roads and public works (1935–1939) and a member of the 25th Ordinary National Assembly (1940–1944) – Spas Ganev. The diary covers the period from September 17th 1912 to March 23rd 1913. It is interesting for the nowadays reader, because it reveals the immediate experience of an officer – a participant in the war, gives an almost daily idea of the Balkan war times and notes some of the discontent among the young officers, points out some disadvantages of the military leaders and conveys impressions about the military life in a relatively restrained, devoid of euphoria way.
