There are many books about the long war that finished with the Turkish conquest of Crete. A Shared World, however, is quite original because it examines the succession of one regime by another, focusing on society. A major accomplishment of this book consists in a most successful combination of Venetian and Turkish sources, many of them unpublished, which shed light on this complicated period of transition on a major Mediterranean island. -- Elizabeth A. Zachariadou, University of Crete
