Book Recommendations on the 18th c. Greek Enlightenment and the Greek War of Independence

by MrYams

I hope book recommendation threads are ok. I didn't see anything specifically against it, maybe it could fall under "poll"-type questions? Anyway, mods delete if it breaks the rules.

I was hoping to find a history on the Greek War of Independence. Something that dives into the causes of it and what influenced the leaders of the movement. I also have heard that the Greek's weren't particularly unified until the great powers got involved, so I'd also like if it went through the whole war up to the establishment of the independent state.

Essentially I'm looking for a general history of the Greek War of Independence that talks about the major figures on both sides, the influences around them, and a telling of how things shaped out.

Hi there anyone interested in recommending things to OP! While you might have a title to share, this is still a thread on /r/AskHistorians, and we still want the replies here to be to an /r/AskHistorians standard - presumably OP would have asked at /r/history or /r/askreddit if they wanted non-specialist opinion. So give us some indication why the thing you're recommending is valuable, trustworthy, or applicable! Posts that provide no context for why you're recommending a particular podcast/book/novel/documentary/etc, and which aren't backed up by a historian-level knowledge on the accuracy and stance of the piece, will be removed.
