Summary: "A Traveller's History of Greece provides a concise and authoritative narrative from the country's beginnings to the present day. Its combination of easy reference and good writing makes it an ideal companion for any tourist or student of Greek culture. Rather than solely concentrating on Greece's classical past, A Traveller's History of Greece covers the many other facets of Greek history, including the conflicts with Persia, conquest by the Romans, the Byzantine age and occupation by the Turks, and later the struggle for independence, the turbulent twentieth century, up to the recent troubled economic waters of the twenty-first. This history will help visitors to make sense of modern Greece against the background of its heritage. A gazetteer, a cross-referenced to the main text, highlights the importance of sites, towns and battlefields and details of ancient battles. A chronology lists the significant dates from the Bronze Age to now."-- Provided by the publisher.
