Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. This copy is in new, unmarked condition bound in light green cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling to the spine. This copy is bright, tight, white and square. The unclipped dust wrapper has some edge wear to the top edge so best described as near fine condition. International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. This relatively concise book is written in a highly engaging and readable manner- indeed, were all history books written like this, history would be a much more popular subject- and gives an excellent first-approach overview of the causes, the events, the interested factions and the individuals concerned. There are weightier works on the subject to be found, but this book succeeds brilliantly as a concise and entertaining coverage. For anyone with an interest in modern Greek history, The Greek Adventure" is a fast paced narrative of the war for Greek independence from the Ottoman Empire in the 1820s. In this book Howarth does a good job of describing the movement from the perspectives of the three main interests involved. The main interests are the indigenous Greeks, the European Philhelenes (lovers of Greece) and the Turks. Ref FFF 4. Seller Inventory # 031870
