The Greek Revolution

“If anyone can navigate these potential pitfalls, it is the Columbia historian Mark Mazower, who began his career as a historian of Greece and the Balkans and has since ventured far beyond to write increasingly ambitious and truly seminal works on the history of the United Nations and the idea of internationalism. His latest book, The Greek Revolution: 1821 and the Making of Modern Europe, represents the perfect union of these two poles of his career — a largely internationalist history of what is often seen as a local event.”
