What was life really like for the Greeks under Ottoman rule? Was it
a period of exploitation and enslavement for the Greeks until they
were finally able to rise up against Turkish rule, as is the
traditional, Greek nationalistic view? Or did the Greeks derive
some benefit from Turkish rule? How did the Greeks and Turks
co-exist for so long? And, why are Greek attitudes towards Venice,
who also controlled much of Greece for many of these years, so
different? For almost four hundred years, between the fall of
Constantinople in 1453 and the Greek War of Independence, the
history of Greece is shrouded in mystery: distorted by Greek
writers and largely neglected by others. In this wide-ranging yet
concise history David Brewer explodes many of the myths about
Turkish rule of Greece. He places the Greek story in its wider,
international context and casts fresh light on the dynamics of
power not only between Greeks and Ottomans but also between Muslims
and Christians, both Orthodox and Catholic, throughout Europe. This
absorbing and riveting account of a crucial period will ensure that
the history of Greece under Turkish rule is no longer hidden. It
will be of immense value to anyone with an interest in Greek and
Turkish history and in how the past has shaped the Greece we know
today.
