Produktbeschreibung
The complex and often dramatic trajectory of Venizelos' career from Cretan rebel to an admired European statesman is charted in a sequence of chapters that survey his meteoric rise and great achievements in Greek and European politics in the early decades of the twentieth century, amidst violent passions and tragic conflicts. Five further essays appraise in depth some critical aspects of his policies, while a final chapter offers some glimpses into a great statesman's personal and intellectual world. The book is based on extensive scholarship but it is eminently readable and it should appeal to all those interested in twentieth-century history, politics and biography, offering a vivid sense of the hopes and tragedies of Greek and European history in the age of the Great War and of the interwar crisis.
Eleftherios Venizelos, Prime Minister of Greece from 1910-1920 and 1928-1932, is believed to be the creator of contemporary Greece and one of the major players in European diplomacy between 1910-1935. This book brings together new research from twelve experts on Greek history and politics to document Venizelos' meteoric rise from Cretan rebel to admired statesman.
