Greece by Roderick Beaton
Biography of a Modern Nation
A sweeping, accessible history that traces the emergence and evolution of the modern Greek nation from the 19th-century wars of independence to the present, weaving political narrative with cultural analysis; it examines how language, literature, religion, external intervention and social change shaped national identity, and treats defining episodes—state-building and Venizelos, the Asia Minor catastrophe, occupation and civil war, postwar reconstruction, the 1967–74 junta, and EU membership and the recent economic crisis—to explain continuity and rupture in Greece’s modern development.
