Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the extraordinary life and political career of Eleftherios Venizelos, a pivotal figure in Greek and Cretan history during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in Crete during a tumultuous period of Ottoman rule, Venizelos emerged as a charismatic leader, advocating for Cretan autonomy and, ultimately, union with Greece. The author meticulously traces Venizelos' journey from his early years as a lawyer and influential member of the Cretan Assembly to his pivotal role in the Cretan uprisings and eventual rise to prominence as a statesman. The narrative vividly portrays the political landscape of Crete, marked by constant struggles against Turkish oppression and internal divisions. Venizelos' unwavering commitment to truth, his exceptional diplomatic skills, and his ability to unite the Cretan people behind a common cause are highlighted as key factors in his success. Central to the book is the exploration of Venizelos' complex relationship with Prince George of Greece, the High Commissioner of Crete appointed by the Great Powers. Their conflicting visions for Crete's future, coupled with palace intrigues and political maneuvering, led to a dramatic showdown that culminated in the Therisso revolt. This event serves as a testament to Venizelos' courage and determination, as he risked his life and reputation to champion the aspirations of the Cretan people. Through its insightful analysis of Venizelos' leadership, this book offers a profound understanding of the challenges and triumphs of the Cretan struggle for self-determination, shedding light on a critical period in Greek history and the enduring legacy of a remarkable statesman.
