2010réf. 046573London: I.B. Tauris 2010 Book. As New. Hardcover. 1st UK Edition. For almost four hundred years between the fall of Constantinople in 1453 and the Greek War of Independence the history of Greece is shrouded in mystery: distorted by Greek writers and largely neglected by others. What was life really like for the Greeks under Ottoman rule Was it a period of exploitation and enslavement for the Greeks until they were finally able to rise up against Turkish rule as is the traditional Greek nationalistic view Or did the Greeks derive some benefit from Turkish rule How did the Greeks and Turks co-exist for so long And why are Greek attitudes towards Venice who also controlled much of Greece for many of these years so different In this wide-ranging yet concise history David Brewer explodes many of the myths about Turkish rule of Greece. He places the Greek story in its wider international context and casts fresh light on the dynamics of power not only between Greeks and Ottomans but also between Muslims and Christians both Orthodox and Catholic throughout Europe. This absorbing and riveting account of a crucial period will ensure that the history of Greece under Turkish rule is no longer hidden. 308p. bibliography index. Paper slightly age toned. I.B.
