Synopsis

This book takes a hard look at the process that resulted in the independence of Greece in 1821. The author traces the roots of the revolution over hundreds of years, taking into account the shifts in power and tactics from the Ottoman Empire, and the spread of European civilization throughout the wider Mediterranean region. At its heart, this book is a detailed review of the historical events, cultural shifts, and complex political landscape that resulted in the creation of the modern Greek state. The author gives significant attention to the ways in which the Greek Revolution was entangled with larger European movements - like the Napoleonic Wars and the spread of the Enlightenment - and provides a powerful portrait of a region in transition. This meticulously researched and thoughtfully written work offers new insights into one of the great historical events of the 19th century and will appeal to anyone interested in the history of Greece, the Ottoman Empire, and modern Europe.
