Mazower has written extensively on Eastern European history and the Balkans; it should come as no surprise that his new book is an impressive and thorough account of this first ‘romantic’ European revolution. It shows that the Greeks’ uprising against Ottoman rule should be seen as much in the context of the birth of nineteenth century nationalism as that of Byronic popular struggle.
