BOOK BIG BATTLES OF 1821 (#14355)

From the beginning of the Greek Revolution against the long-standing Turkish yoke until the liberation, a series of battles took place, some on land and others at sea. The battles fought all those years were countless. Others led to great victories and triumphs and others to heavy defeats and mourning. But what were the events that led to a battle? How did the chiefs decide where to give it? Did they always agree on the place and the strategy? No! There were always disagreements until they came up with the final plan. And then, what was to blame for a defeat? Bad calculations? The wrong manipulations? And what made a victory end in triumph despite the few Greek soldiers against their numerous opponents? Ten of the most critical battles of that turbulent period are recorded in this book with the hope that it will be a small stepping stone that will bring today's children a little closer to those distant years of the Greek Revolution.
