The house of Don Pacifico, president of the Jewish community in
Athens, was looted by a mob in April 1847. The riot was
government-inspired and the courts were crooked. There was little
chance of getting the large compensation Pacifico claimed until
Palmerston, the British Foreign Secretary, became involved in a
totally justifiable piece of gunboat diplomacy. The author has
unearthed a mass of information which finally shows Pacifico to be
a victim of prejudice rather than a conman, and has shed new light
on a fascinating episode of 19th-century European history.
