Acclaimed for its penetration, balance, and insight, "Modern Greece
tells the story of Greece and its people, from the founding of
Constantinople to the eclipse of socialism in the late twentieth
century. C. M. Woodhouse is uniquely qualified to write the history
of Greece, having served there in the Allied military and the
British embassy during and after World War II before writing
several books on Greece. In this classic work, which Woodhouse has
updated five times to create a truly comprehensive history, the
depth of his knowledge and understanding of the country and its
citizens comes through clearly in every chapter, as he ranges from
the ascendancy and eventual fall of the Byzantine Empire through
the emergence for the first time of a unified Greek kingdom in the
1800s to the political turmoil of twentieth-century politics. This
is a book for readers and travelers who wish to understand the
history and culture behind the beauty that is eternal Greece.
