Editorial Reviews

Review

"Readers who go no further than this concise history will have at their disposal the basic knowledge needed to understand Greece and what made it what it is today." Times Literary Supplement

"Deftly written and carefully researched, supplemented with tables, short biographies, as well as a listing of the royal houses of Greece, A Concise History of Greece is an excellent and scholarly survey of the modern growth of the nation which is a strongly recommended addition to academic World History collections in general, and Hellenic History supplemental reading lists in particular." Library Bookwatch

"This 2002 edition will be even more welcome to teachers, as it brings Greece up to 2000 and the 17 November terrorist group, the conflict over religion on identify cards and minority rights, and the Macedonian crisis.... I will have my students buy and use this edition.... the book is a vigorous, well-written, somewhat opinionated and occasionally humorous view of Greek history since 1770, remarkable in the amount of information and context it provides." Bryn Mawr Classical Review

Book Description

    For anyone looking for a concise book on the history on Modern Greece then this is it. The book covers the period form just before the Greek revolution to moderns times. Clogg's style is easy to read and comprehend in all facets. The book is littered with great illutrstions, photos and maps which help the reader "visualise" what he/she is reading. The one thing I would say is a negative is that you need to have some knowledge of the events that are recorded in this book, but that is a minor issue in comparison to the whole work.

    I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to study Greek Modern history.

    Clogg's Concise History of Greece, 2nd Edition, is an excellent resource for the average reader or for the seasoned scholar. Covering the history of Greece from the Ottoman era (1770-1831), to Independence; and on into the 1990s, enhanced with dozens of photos, maps and illustrations. Serves as a good companion to C. M. Woodhouse's Modern Greece: A Short History 5th Ed. (1999).

    You have to be into learning history to stick with it because it is dense. If you are, you will not regret it. Being a relatively politically unbiased Greek with some first hand knowledge of the shadows of history in the 70s and 80s I think this is the most objective modern Greek history book I have read so far. Very scholarly with only information, not opinions.

    Well-written book in a good series. A bit scanty in some areas but that's to be expected in a short text.

    The introduction was very helpful in understanding what was to come. Modern Greece's history is very complex. The book provides a good summary of the complexities. I have learned what I needed from this book.
  • Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2009
    It is well structured, brief and not boring. How could it be? It's about my country's history! It concludes all the history of Greece so anyone could be informed about the facts from 1770-2000.I like the way it presents the destruction of Smyrna and the exchange of populations.
    There are enough pictures and drawings as well. There are not enough about the recent history, but I was totally impressed when I saw at least few pages about the students occupation in Athens Polytechnic in 1973. I enjoyed it very much considering that in greek schools there is not even a little paragraph about this occupation.
    Finally, I think the tables at the last pages of the book are quite useful for anyone who wants to search more or compare to.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Introduction to Modern Greek history
    Reviewed in Canada on October 6, 2015
    I'm not an expert on Greek history, and this book doesn't necessarily go into many details of Modern Greek history, but as a general synopsis it is a valuable book. Richard Clogg does a decent job at providing the cream of Greek history. If you want to enjoy something much deeper there are other writers like Mark Mazower, or CM Woodhouse who have written decent books on Greece's history as well.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente introducción a la historia de la Grecia contemporánea
    Reviewed in Spain on January 12, 2013
    El libro es una excelente combinación de divulgación clara y entretenida y de nivel historiográfico y político. En él se combina con gran talento la información objetiva sobre acontecimientos y procesos con el planteamiento de problemas políticos, ideológicos y culturales. Gran instrumento para conocer la Grecia contemporánea y algunos de sus problemas y retos más urgentes.
