À propos de ce contenu audio

 Winner of the Duff Cooper Prize • One of The Economist's top history books of the year

From one of our leading historians, the definitive history of the Greek War of Independence

The Greek War of Independence was an unlikely cause, a disorganized collection of Greek patriots up against what was still one of the most storied empires in the world, the Ottomans. The revolutionaries needed all the help they could get. And they got it, as Europeans and Americans embraced the idea that the heirs to ancient Greece, the wellspring of Western civilization, were fighting for their freedom against the proverbial Eastern despot, the Turkish sultan.

Mazower does full justice to the more complicated reality on the ground, as a revolutionary conspiracy triggered outright rebellion. By the time the dust settled, Greece was free, and Europe was changed forever. It was a victory fora completely new kind of politics—international in its range and affiliations, popular in its origins, romantic in its sentiments, and radical in its goals. The Greek War of Independence was the first war in which a people claimed liberty for themselves and overthrew an entire empire to attain it, inaugurating a new world of nation-states, the world in which we still live.

    Painstakingly researched, masterfully contextualized both in the world the Greek revolution broke out into and in terms of the conceptual beginnings of modern norms of multilateral international relations, composed in a way that makes it a page turner, and beautifully narrated.

    Painstakingly researched and written

    This audiobook is a patch work of stories from the Greek revolution era. The first half spends a lot of time on the first two years of the conflict. The story jumps from a figure to the other, very quickly and without giving enough information about the year and the location each time. Adding to this, the narrator has a very distinct English accent and constantly changes his tone and speed of diction, muffling the last part of a sentence. His diction is a little clearer in the second part but it's still hard to follow. I've listened to this audiobook from start to finish and I was lost most of the time. Bad diction, patchwork stories, very little high level explanation, I bought this book to understand the geopolitical context, it didn't help, maybe it is more suited for people having a deep understanding of the subject.

    Rich content but poorly narrated and hard to follow
