A Concise History of Greece Paperback / softback

Part of the Cambridge Concise Histories series

Paperback / softback

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.
