David Brewer tells the entire terrifying and moving story of the Greek Revolution, from the actions of the most important Philhellene, Byron, and the most charismatic Greek, Kolokotronis, to the machinations of the Great Powers and the climax at Navarino, the last naval battle ever fought with sails unfurled.
“All the advantages of narrative history, with a strong sense of rhythm, excellent command of the Greek language and Philhellenic sources, familiarity with the places, and an outstanding sense of detail.” David Crane, Spectator
“Based on thorough research, compellingly written. Perfect rendition of the impressive yet tragic journey of Greek independence.” Saul David, Sunday Telegraph
“Impressively comprehensive and extremely readable!” Dominick Coyle, Financial Times
“A moving narrative.” Contemporary Review
