Reviews

Holland and Markides make a major contribution to the study of Anglo-Greek relations in a book full of arresting insights. Richard Clogg, TLS [a] subtle and splendid book Sir Michael Llewellyn Smith, The Anglo-Hellenic Review Crisp, lucid, enjoyable... a joy to read. Keith Kyle, The Cyprus Review The intricate story of these 110 years is handled with elegance and insight...this book is surely the definitive work on British-Greek relations before 1960. David Barchard, Cornucopia All in all, this is a highly impressive volume based on extensive primary research and secondary reading. In chronicling British reactions to Hellenic nationalist movements, Robert Holland and Diana Markides have produced a superb nuanced study that deserves to be added to any university library with an interest in the history of modern Greece.
