About This Book

A comprehensive contemporary history traces the causes, secret societies, and outbreaks of the early nineteenth-century struggle for Greek independence, following uprisings across the Peloponnese, mainland regions and islands, naval engagements, sieges, pitched battles, and brutal reprisals against civilians. It documents internal political divisions, shifting loyalties, and the conduct of local leaders, and surveys foreign diplomacy and great-power reactions. The work pairs chronological narrative with thematic essays on language, sources, and historiographical method, presenting a revised, documentary-based account intended to weigh successes and failings without partisan distortion.
