An excellent book....Should become indispensable reading for all students of modern Greece and be part of theire libraries. It is a well-written and thoroughly researched book; a book valuable to the scholar and interesting and enlightening to the general reader...Students of Greece are in debt to [Koliopoulos] for his excellent contribution to our knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of the history, culture, and institutions of modern Hellas and the Hellenes. --History: Reviews of New Books<br> Ground-breaking and revisionist. --American Historical Reivew<br> An excellent contribution to understanding the complexities and difficulties that modernizing nation-states in Ssoutheastern Europe faced in the nineteenth century. --Canadian Review of Studies in Nationalism<br> Koliopoulos does an excellent job of divorcing myth and legend from the realities of banditry. Readers of this book will gain a greater understanding of the current antipathies between Greeks and Turks. --Choice<br>

'outstanding study ... Koliopoulos traces in meticulous detail the ebb and flow between internal brigandage and external irredentism ... In terms of originality, the use of a wide array of little known sources, and the clarity of his argument, John Koliopoulos has shown he has no superior among historians of modern Greece.'
