Story4.5 out of 5 stars 87
As Mark Mazower shows us in his enthralling and definitive new account, myths about the Greek War of Independence outpaced the facts from the very beginning, and for good reason. This was an unlikely cause, against long odds, 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.

Decent but dry and sometimes hard to listen to…

The reader tries to pronounce Greek words and names with a Greek accent that is almost unrecognizable. He is also inconsistent in his pronunciation. The effect is comical and annoying at the same time. And gets more annoying as the trading continues. The book does a decent job with the subject matter. Not sure the organization of the book works real well either.
