The Mediterranean, or 'Middle Sea', has long been regarded as the
symbolic centre of European civilization. The binding water between
Turkey, the Middle East, the trading communities of North Africa,
and the European powerhouses Italy, France and Greece, a history of
this sea is a new and vital way of understanding the history of the
societies which have flourished in the region. The Islands of the
Eastern Mediterranean charts the story of the water as both
connector and border, and analyses the islands role in world
history. Covering Mehmed II's efforts to conquer the old Roman
Empire, through to the claims of Rhodes and the role of the Aegean
Islands in Ottoman international relations, to the British in
Cyprus and the present-day tensions, this book's interconnected
essays from leading scholars form a tapestry of knowledge.
Together, they represent a new frontier in the way in which we look
at sea histories. This will become essential reading for scholars
of History, International Relations, Trade and Migration.
