Book Synopsis
Examining both brigandage and irredentism in Greece since the War of Independence, this work traces the links between the two, their impact on Greek politics and statecraft, and their influence on the modern Greek state. It aims to separate reality from myth in examining the forces and factors involved in turning brigands into national heroes.

Trade Review
'outstanding study ... Koliopoulos traces in meticulous detail the ebb and flow between internal brigandage and external irredentism ... In terms of originality, the use of a wide array of little known sources, and the clarity of his argument, John Koliopoulos has shown he has no superior among historians of modern Greece.'
