Recenzii
A very original study that sheds light on a potentially obscure topic while at the same time illuminating the complexity of the broader historical trends in the region.
"Nineteenth-century Mediterranean piracy ended with the elimination of the threat from the Barbary states. At least that was the consensus among historians. But no longer. In this deeply-grounded, transnational study, Mylonakis convincingly demonstrates that piracy, albeit in a different form, continued throughout the century. Piracy in the Eastern Mediterranean is a must-read for Greek and Ottoman historians and students of comparative banditry and piracy."
