Book Synopsis
Moves beyond the hostile 'Christian' versus 'Muslim' divide that has coloured many historical interpretations of the early modern Mediterranean, and reveals a society with a richer set of cultural and social dynamics. This book focuses on Crete, which the Ottoman Empire wrested from Venetian control in 1669.

Trade Review
"A much needed reinterpretation of a remarkable period in Crete's history."--Vernon Egger, History "This book ... is one of big ideas... The reader is left feeling that Greene not only proposes bold ideas, but undergirds them with serious, and carefully interpreted, primary research."--K.E. Fleming, American Historical Review
