A Concise History of Greece by Richard Clogg

A Concise History of Greece by Richard Clogg

Now reissued in a second, updated edition, this book provides a concise, illustrated introduction to the history of modern Greece, from the first stirrings of the national movement in the late eighteenth century to the present day. It is designed to provide a basic introduction for general and academic readers with little or no prior knowledge of the subject, and supersedes Professor Clogg's A Short History of Modern Greece which became a classic following its initial publication in 1979. This wholly new book, first published in 1992, was conceived afresh for a broad readership.

'Succinct, accurate and graphic … Readers who go no further than this concise history will have at their disposal the basic knowledge to understand Greece and what made it what it is today' The Times Literary Supplement
'A vigorous, well-written … and occasionally humorous view of Greek history since 1770, remarkable in the amount of information and context it provides.' Diana Wright, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
'Anyone who wants an accurate and lively narrative of Greece's political history could not do better than this book.' The Times Literary Supplement
'It is a highly accessible and readable introduction to Greek history as well as a useful reference source on modern Greece.' European Legacy Journal
'… provides a thorough insight to what made Greece the way it is today … Written in a readable style rather than as a reference book, it has enough detail for the scholar and clarity for those with a more general interest in Greek history.' Greek-o-File
