A brief history of Greece and an indispensable reference guide. This is a unique title that manages to cover the many facets of Greece and does not just concentrate on its Classical past.
Anyone travelling to Greece for a holiday or to the Olympics in Athens in 2004 will find this book invaluable. It covers in a clear manner the classical era, the conflict with Persia, the conquest by the Romans, the Byzantine age and the occupation by the Turks, the struggle for independence and the turbulence of the twentieth century, right up to the calmer waters of the twenty-first.
This history will help visitors to make sense of modern Greece against the background of its diverse heritage.
