Title: Shallow, impressionist, the Orientalists view of the Modern Greece
Product review: Gallant relies excessively on 19th century British views of Greece -- and it shows. The perspective is patronizing and the result is a a rather shallow caricature. Really the book is, unwittingly, a reflection of its limited sources' worldview more than anything illuminating on Greece.A much better, and more respected, work is Clogg's "Short History of Modern Greece."
