Venizelos: The Making of a Greek Statesman, 1864 - 1914

‘A great addition to modern Greek history, Venizelos tackles broad questions of political leadership and nationalism. It fills a major gap and will strongly attract a cadre of international readers. Highly readable, enjoyable and instructive—it’s hard to ask for more.’
- Stathis Kalyvas, Gladstone Professor of Government, University of Oxford

‘Venizelos is a powerful portrait of an extraordinary man, painting a rich picture of his social and political environment. A masterful analysis of the personal, domestic and international factors at play, it is well-researched, original and vivid.’
- Helen Katsiadakis, Researcher Emerita, the Venizelos Foundation

‘An impressive work of scholarship, rendering outstanding services to the political history of Modern Greece and the art of political biography. Llewellyn-Smith deserves the gratitude of all those trying to promote knowledge and understanding in these fields of research.’
- Paschalis Kitromilides, Academy of Athens
