The authors bring together their knowledge of primary Greek sources and their first-hand experience of Greek culture to explore the political, economic, social, and cultural history of this fascinating country from “within.” In addition, they set the country’s development within the wider geo-political framework of Europe, the Balkans, and the Middle East, allowing the reader an understanding of Greek history within the context of its surrounding geographical area. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book traces the history of Greece from the creation of the Greek state in 1821 and early conflicts over former Ottoman lands, through to Greece’s instability between the wars, and as a battleground between the Allied forces and Axis powers in WWII.
