On a chance commission to study medieval fortresses, the author found himself travelling though Greece in the turmoil of a bloody civil war. His outstanding book is neither about fortresses nor about politics. Instead it reads like a novel and provides perhaps the first, certainly the most vivid, candid and memorable pictures of modern Greek peasant life.
