Index
Lucien Frary received a PhD in History from the University of
Minnesota in 2003 and is now Associate Professor of History at
Rider University in Lawrenceville, NJ. His main areas of interest
are Mediterranean, Slavic, and Eastern Orthodox studies in the
post-Byzantine era. He is the co-editor (with Mara Kozelsky) of
Russian-Ottoman Borderlands: The Eastern Question Reconsidered and
the author of articles and reviews in scholarly journals such
as
Russian History, Mediterranean Historical Review, Kritika, and
Modern Greek Studies Yearbook. He is currently working on a
monograph dealing with nineteenth-century Russian foreign policy
through the biography of Count
Grigorii A. Stroganov (1770-1857).
Frary's book is both successful and interesting as a series of
analyses of political episodes and crises, and brings much new
documentation to the topic.

[This book] represents an important contribution to the relevant
historiography on many different fronts.
*George Vassiadis, History*
Frary has examined for the first time a huge reservoir of
unpublished Russian archives, which he situates alongside an
impressive armoury of Greek sources to produce a meticulous and
generally dispassionate account that challanges this conventional
narrative.
