Review:

`An outstanding addition to the growing body of serious academic studies on the modern history of Greece ... Llewellyn Smith's book is indispensable reading for anyone who would seek to understand the convoluted politics of Greece in the twentieth century.' -- New Society `'Ionian Vision' has a theme worthy of Thucydides. ... Mr Llewellyn Smith has produced a fine, temperate and engrossing study.' -- International Affairs `The expedition to Asia Minor in 1919-22 was a Greek tragedy in every sense. ... Among the merits of Mr Llewellyn Smith's scholarly version of the tragedy is the sense of anxious urgency and hope against hope which it sustains throughout. ... An all but definitive account.' -- Times Literary Supplement `Consistently readable, industriously researched and documented in detail. ... In this absorbing, dramatic and melancholy saga of war and diplomacy, Mr Smith gives us a historical work of great fascination and substance.' -- Books and Bookmen
