By Kallinikos Kritovoulids

Book Overview

Narrative Of The Cretan War Of Independence V1 (1864) is a historical account of the Greek island of Crete's struggle for independence from Ottoman rule in the 19th century. The book is written by Kallinikos Kritovoulides, who was a Cretan lawyer and politician. The first volume of the book covers the period from 1821 to 1864, detailing the events that led to the uprising, the battles fought by the Cretan rebels, and the political and diplomatic efforts made to secure their independence. The book provides a firsthand account of the war, as Kritovoulides himself was a participant in the conflict. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Ottoman Empire, the struggles of the Greek people for independence, and the history of Crete.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
