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 Short History of Modern Greece which has become a classic since its initial publication in 1979. This latest account is a wholly new book, conceived afresh for a broad readership, in which the many illustrations with their extensive captions form an important part of the text.

Product description

Review

'… an authoritative account … sensitive analysis …'. John Torode, The Independent

'Professor Clogg's slim and lively volume intersperses an authoritative account of the last 200 years of Greek history with a sensitive analysis of the Greek national character. It will be of use to anyone attempting to understand, for example, the historic basis of the row between Athens and its EC partners over recognition of the former Yugoslav state of Macedonia; or the constant friction with Turkey that is deemed by all Turks to be incurable. It also helps to explain the appeal that Andreas Papandreou and his often posturing and always chauvinistic 'socialist' party, Pasok, had for many of his fellow countrymen in the Eighties.' John Torode, The Independent

'As a Byzantine scholar, Professor Clogg is an excellent guide through the labyrinth of modern Greek history. Unlike other writers, he does not interpret events mainly in terms of the ideological struggle, nor does he overdo the importance of individual personalities. He moves the narrative forwards and onwards, yet also supplies detailed biographies and reference tables, neatly set out at the end, for those who require that sort of analysis. And accompanying the text, there is a range of contemporary photographs, all well captioned. Richard Clogg is a thorough historian.' Book of the Week, Arabic Service Programme

Book Description

5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Introduction to Modern Greek history
Reviewed in Canada on 6 October 2015

I'm not an expert on Greek history, and this book doesn't necessarily go into many details of Modern Greek history, but as a general synopsis it is a valuable book. Richard Clogg does a decent job at providing the cream of Greek history. If you want to enjoy something much deeper there are other writers like Mark Mazower, or CM Woodhouse who have written decent books on Greece's history as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Resource on Greek Modern History
Reviewed in the United States on 9 May 2011
Verified Purchase
For anyone looking for a concise book on the history on Modern Greece then this is it. The book covers the period form just before the Greek revolution to moderns times. Clogg's style is easy to read and comprehend in all facets. The book is littered with great illutrstions, photos and maps which help the reader "visualise" what he/she is reading. The one thing I would say is a negative is that you need to have some knowledge of the events that are recorded in this book, but that is a minor issue in comparison to the whole work.

I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to study Greek Modern history.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente introducción a la historia de la Grecia contemporánea
Reviewed in Spain on 12 January 2013
Verified Purchase
El libro es una excelente combinación de divulgación clara y entretenida y de nivel historiográfico y político. En él se combina con gran talento la información objetiva sobre acontecimientos y procesos con el planteamiento de problemas políticos, ideológicos y culturales. Gran instrumento para conocer la Grecia contemporánea y algunos de sus problemas y retos más urgentes.
