Book description

Now reissued in a fourth, updated edition, this book provides a concise, illustrated introduction to the modern history of Greece, from the first stirrings of the national movement in the late eighteenth century to the present day. As Greece emerges from a devastating economic crisis, this fourth edition offers analyses of contemporary political, economic and social developments. It includes additional illustrations, together with updated tables and suggestions for further reading. A new concluding chapter considers the trajectory of Greek history over the two hundred years since the beginning of the War of Independence in 1821. Designed to provide a basic introduction, the first edition of this hugely successful Concise History won the Runciman Award for a best book on an Hellenic topic in 1992 and has been translated into thirteen languages, including all the languages of the Balkans.

Reviews

'… Clogg succinctly pulls together Greece’s path to becoming a functioning and integral member of the Western European community of nations, taking Greece from an 18th-century appendage of the Ottoman Empire to 21st-century Europe … a short but complete picture of modern Greece and will be a suitable addition to library collection. Recommended.'
