Synopsis

The digital edition of all books may be viewed on our website before purchase. History of the War of Independence in Greece: Volume Two is the second volume in a two-volume set detailing Greece's struggle for independence. Written by Thomas Keightley, this collection is intended to serve as a detailed account of this important historical event.

Volume Two opens in 1822 at Epidaurus, where deputies from various parts of Greece had assembled to write the country's first constitution. While it would still be a decade before Greece was officially recognized as an independent nation, it is this assembly that laid the foundation. From this launching point, Keightley continues on his overview of the major events of the Greek Revolution that he began in Volume One. The sea battles between the Greeks and the Ottomans are well detailed, as these battles were crucial to the success of the Greek uprising. The author also details some of the infighting that threatened to bring the revolution to a premature end. Keightley paints a fairly broad picture of the revolution, however manages to touch on most of the major points.

While a notable effort in capturing the history of the Greek Revolution, this book simply did not have the benefit of time on its side. Keightley's book was published in 1830, only two short years after the Greeks had driven the last of the Turks out of the Peloponnese. No history written in the moment will ever be complete, as more evidence has been uncovered some of the facts presented by Keightley have become considered inaccurate. It should also be noted that this republication by Forgotten Books is missing several pages, notably from the table of contents that opens the text.

History of the War of Independence in Greece: Volume Two is a fairly straight forward account of the Greek Revolution. While certainly not the definitive text on the subject, it is an interesting read as a historical treatment of an event that was really still
