Thomas Gallant's History of the Greeks offers at one and the same
time a book that can be taught in class as well as advance the
knowledge of experts, read in the metro as well as discussed at
academic conferences, engage unsuspecting readers as well as
surprise specialists. His writing is not only bright and clear; it
is also light and imbued with a sense of humour. When all is said
and done, Gallant's delve into the past has produced the most
all-encompassing account of the Greek long nineteenth century yet
to be written, a book that has genuine literary merit and at the
same time can be usefully taught in class.--Konstantina Zanou,
Columbia University "Historen"
