The history of the Greek Revolution of 1821 encompasses many aspects, the exploration of which still holds surprises for scholars. However, the overwhelming majority, paradoxically, does not focus on the most important aspect: the military operations. And yet, the freedom of the Greeks was not won, as many believe, in the salons of European diplomacy, but on the battlefields. Because, contrary to the opinions of experts and non-experts, it is there that the history of nations is written.
The book "1821 - The Battles of the Greeks for Freedom" describes in a strictly scientific but at the same time captivating way the most significant land battles of the Greek War of Independence, through which the Greeks managed to continue their historical journey.
It also includes an original hypothetical scenario - based on solid evidence - which attempts to overturn the established perception that the flame of the Revolution was extinguished due to Ibrahim's invasion of the Peloponnese and that Greek independence is the result of the Battle of Navarino.
