5.0 out of 5 starsLord Byron at War
By Albert A. Nofi on July 14, 2015
Format: Paperback
A summary of the review on StrategyPage.Com:

'Although telling primarily an account of Byron’s experiences in Greece and the country’s influence on his life and writings, Prof. Beaton (Richard Stockton) also gives the reader a rather comprehensive overview of the opening years of the Greek War for Independence (1821-1824), in which the poet was deeply involved. Beaton’s look at the war reflects Byron’s role, which, despite the poet’s apparent desires, was not as a combatant. So while Beaton gives us an outline of the military events, we learn much more about conditions under Ottoman rule, the politics and diplomacy of revolution, the complexities of forging a common “front” among several Greek factions, and revolutionary finance, a matter in which Byron’s great personal wealth played an important role. In addition to Byron, we also meet quite a number of interesting, now largely forgotten characters, Ali Pasha, the Gamba family, Alexandros Mavrocordatos, and more. So despite its limitations, given the lack of a good recent English history of the Greek War for Independence, Byron’s War is likely to be of value to those interested in popular revolutionary movements and organization, the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, and 19th century'

5.0 out of 5 starsScholarship at its best
By Gregory on March 2, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Thorough and well-documented, this book throws new light on the subject. It is especially good to have a book on this part of Byron's life by someone who knows the Greek world well. Beaton is also very interesting on the relationship between Byron and Shelley.
