Description

A History of Crete is a comprehensive account of the island's long and varied history, from the Stone Age to the present day. Spanning over three thousand years, the book explores Crete's strategic importance, its cultural heritage, and the impact of foreign rule on its people. Chris Moorey, who has lived in Crete for over twenty years, provides an engaging and lively narrative that fills a gap in scholarship on the island.

From the Minoan civilization to the brief period of autonomy before union with Greece, the book offers a detailed and engaging history of Crete. With its unique blend of historical and cultural insights, A History of Crete is an essential read for anyone interested in the island's fascinating past.
