Description
The Greek War of Independence was sparked by a violent revolution in 1821, which drew widespread sympathy from Western Europe and the United States. Over a thousand volunteers set out to fight for Greece's cause, driven by a sense that their country had a unique claim on the world's sympathies. This meticulously researched account of the Philhellenic movement offers a detailed look at the aspirations and experiences of those who fought for Greece's freedom. The book has become a standard reference point for students of the Greek War of Independence, European Romanticism, and Byron, and its relevance to modern ethnic and religious conflicts is increasingly being recognized by scholars. A new revised edition includes an updated introduction, bibliography, and numerous illustrations, making it an essential resource for anyone looking to understand this pivotal moment in history.
