Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles how Parga was ceded to the Ottoman Empire in 1819 and the treachery and broken promises that led to this event. The author, who commanded the British garrison in Parga at the time, provides a firsthand account of the political intrigue and duplicity that characterized the negotiations. Beyond a detailed accounting of the events leading to the handover, this volume also delves into the historical context of Parga's complex relationship with the British, French, Russian, and Ottoman Empires. The author's narrative is a testament to the human cost of political maneuvering and the importance of honoring international commitments.
