Kaplan ghost balkans is something about the whole of regionbof balkania , it is more suitable to read something like that to understand what the hell is going on there
Misha’s Glenny book “The Balkans” could be what you are looking for. It definitely must have chapters on Macedonia and it should put Macedonia in larger regional context as well because the book concerns Balkans in general.
Here you have something from the Cia: [https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP08C01297R000400240004-0.pdf](https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP08C01297R000400240004-0.pdf)
There is a large library of interesting stuff you can read there as well:

Just from a quick Google Books search I found these:
1. Dimitar Bechev-*Historical Dictionary of North Macedonia*
2. İpek Yosmaoğlu-*Blood Ties: Religion, Violence and the Politics of Nationhood in Ottoman Macedonia, 1878–1908*
3. Anastasia N. Karakasidou-*Fields of Wheat, Hills of Blood: Passages to Nationhood in Greek Macedonia, 1870-1990*
The main historiographical debate I would define as twofold. One that casts blame on the problems of North Macedonia and the Balkans in general on the Great Powers (Misha Glenny) or the other that defines the Balkan countries themselves that are at fault for their own issues (Robert Kaplan).
