"Modern Greece" is an updated and enhanced edition of a classic study of Greek history from the early 19th century. It gives equal emphasis to social, political, and diplomatic aspects, offering detailed coverage of the formation of the Greek state, the global Greek diaspora, the country's relations with Europe and the United States, and a range of other topics such as women, rural areas, nationalism, and the Civil War, combined into a detailed and readable narrative.

Fresh material and new pedagogical features have been added throughout the edition, notably:

• New chapters on the 19th century and "From Boom to Crisis in the Age of Globalization, 1989-2013".
• Greater discussion on the context of the late Ottoman Empire, Greeks outside Greece, and the international backdrop to the formation of the Greek state.
• Revisions that take into account recent studies and Greek research.
• New timelines, maps, illustrations, tables, graphs, and boxes of primary sources.
• An updated further reading section and bibliography.

"Modern Greece" is a critical text for anyone seeking to understand the complex history of this now troubled country and its position in the Balkans, Europe, and the modern globalized world.
