infantry division, commanded by Major General Vladimir Vazov. The army fought on the southern front from 1915 to 1918 against French, English, Serbian, Russian and Greek soldiers. The book presents a number of battles, including that of 16 June 1917 between the 9th Pleven's infantry division and the 22nd, 26th, and 30th English divisions. The English army advanced with 160 cannons, 11 mortars and 440 guns. Over the course of four days the British fired over 100,000 shells, but the results on their side were disappointing, keeping them from further advancement. The Bulgarian offence was so effective that the enemy's army suffered heavy casualties. In 1927 Nedev published his second book Bulgaria in the World War – 1915–1918 a historical review, dedicated to "those who would continue the deeds of the whole Bulgarian nation". It book was reissued in 2001. In 1928 Nedev published the book The Liberation of Sofia a review of this unusual military operation in the winter of 1877. In 1929 Nedev published his fourth book The Wars of Liberation – 1877–1878, 1885, 1912–1913, 1915–1918, where he wrote a thorough review of the wars of the third Bulgarian Kingdom. Military attache in Rome, Ankara and Athens In 1930, Nedev was commander of the Juncer battalion of the Higher Military School. The same year he was nominated as military attache in Rome, Ankara and Athens (the headquarters were in Rome). He discovered that the Ottoman Empire had sold its barred record. Nedev knew that it contained very important documents about Bulgaria's history. This archive was bought by the Bulgarian government following Nedev's advice. Thus Levsky's case (the most celebrated national hero) was brought back to Bulgaria. After his return from Rome in 1932 Nikola Nedev was appointed commander of the 14th Macedonian Infantry Regiment in Gorna Dzhumaya. In 1934 he was commander of the 8th Infantry Division in Stara Zagora. There, on 6 May 1936, he was promoted to the rank of major general. At the time in the 12th Infantry Regiment in Stara Zagora, forty young soldiers were accused of communist activity. The Judge Advocate demanded that they be sentenced to death. Nedev stood by his men and said that he as general, would die with his soldiers, showing the world that people could be sentenced to death for their beliefs. The punishment was cancelled. At the end of 1935 General Nedev was commander of Pleven's Garrison.
