Items related to Modern Greece: A Short History
Synopsis
Acclaimed for its penetration, balance, and insight, Modern Greece tells the story of Greece and its people, from the founding of Constantinople to the eclipse of socialism in the late twentieth century. C. M. Woodhouse is uniquely qualified to write the history of Greece, having served there in the Allied military and the British embassy during and after World War II before writing several books on Greece. In this classic work, which Woodhouse has updated five times to create a truly comprehensive history, the depth of his knowledge and understanding of the country and its citizens comes through clearly in every chapter, as he ranges from the ascendancy and eventual fall of the Byzantine Empire through the emergence for the first time of a unified Greek kingdom in the 1800s to the political turmoil of twentieth-century politics. This is a book for readers and travelers who wish to understand the history and culture behind the beauty that is eternal Greece.

Review
"It is in adversity that the particular merits of the Greek character are shown most brightly, and Woodhouse, whose affection for Greece is evident in everything he writes, is well qualified to bring out these merits."--The Times Literary Supplement
"Whenever Woodhouse cares to write on Greece, his work will always be welcome, both to scholars and general readers."--History
