Recenzje

'This important book is a reminder of the need to continue to re-assess our historical knowledge and awareness in the light of new evidence and insights. For some, history is a fixed and unarguable stone, comprising an all too comfortable rendition of national stereotypes. New historical research, based on an assessment of primary sources, can upset these views, with some feeling that agreed identities are under challenge.' Jim Claven, Author of Lemnos and Gallipoli Revealed and Secretary of the Lemnos Gallipoli Commemorative Committee
