2010046573London: I.B. Tauris 2010 Book. As New. Hardcover. 1st UK Edition. For almost four hundred years between the fall of Constantinople in 1453 and the Greek War of Independence the history of Greece is shrouded in mystery: distorted by Greek writers and largely neglected by others. What was life really like for the Greeks under Ottoman rule Was it a period of exploitation and enslavement for the Greeks until they were finally able to rise up against Turkish rule as is the traditional Greek nationalistic view Or did the Greeks derive some benefit from Turkish rule How did the Greeks and Turks co-exist for so long And why are Greek attitudes towards Venice who also controlled much of Greece for many of these years so different In this wide-ranging yet concise history David Brewer explodes many of the myths about Turkish rule of Greece. He places the Greek story in its wider international context and casts fresh light on the dynamics of power not only between Greeks and Ottomans but also between Muslims and Christians both Orthodox and Catholic throughout Europe. This absorbing and riveting account of a crucial period will ensure that the history of Greece under Turkish rule is no longer hidden. 308p. bibliography index. Paper slightly age toned. I.B.

The "rescue" of Greece through documents of IMF the Americans and the European Commission and the tragic responsibilities of Greek politicians. On Saturday November 21 2009 five officials of the European Commission the Eurogroup the ECB and the Greek Government accompanied by their staff gathered in the office of Prime Minister of Luxembourg .under the inviolable condition never to disclose .this the secret meeting. . Attended by the head of the ECB Jean-Claude Trichet Commissioner Joaquim Almunia the Greek Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou and the governor of the Bank of Greece George Provopoulos. For the secret meeting informed proven source of the Eurogroup then chaired by Mr. Juncker and confirmed to me by Mr. Papakonstantinou who told me that during the "Our measures applied to reduce the 2010 deficit of course not 2009. Especially" he said "the ECB insisted very large reduction spoke for 4-5 units. Finally we put the budget reduction of 3.6 units with additional measures in January were 4 points "said the then finance minister. That day Messrs. Juncker Trichet and Almunia sent in Mr. Papandreou a "mini Memorandum". It was their proposal to end the crisis in the bud. Then Prime Minister never answered them.
