The Rough Guide to The Ionian Islands
Overall I thought this was a pretty good, concise history of what is now modern-day Greece. Sure, it could have used more detail in some places and less in others, but when you are trying to jam the entire history of a country into 300 pages or less, I understand that you have to make some sacrifices and hard decisions about what to include and not include.
To speak to some of those decisions, I thought it could have used more content on the cultural aspects of Greece, including how their relationships with the Turks, Romans, Venetians, and Balkan nations throughout their history shaped their worldview beyond just their political situation. I also thought it could have used more discussion of the Greek economy, beyond just saying at various points that it was too dependent on one or two export crops, which seemed a bit simplistic of an assessment.
Like I said though, if you're looking for a good overview that can give you a fairly reasonable sense of where Greece has been and how it got to where it is now, at least from a geopolitical perspective, this is a decent book for that purpose.
