About This Book
A chronological political and military account of the revolutionary struggle, recounting campaigns, land and naval engagements, sieges, massacres and the intervention of external forces. It describes factional and civil conflicts among insurgent leaders, efforts to organize and reform regular and irregular forces, the arrival of foreign volunteers and loans, and the diplomacy of European courts toward the belligerents. Individual chapters detail operations across peninsula and islands, an Egyptian-backed expedition with associated naval actions, the prolonged investment of a principal stronghold, and concurrent debates over governance, constitutions and the international position of the nascent polity.
