History of the Greek Revolution

Thomas Gordon (1788–1841), a British army officer, was actively involved in the Greek struggle for independence during the revolution of 1821–8. This two-volume work, published in 1833 and drawing upon his extensive personal experiences, provides a comprehensive representation of the Greek Revolution 'as it really was'.
