BYZANTIUM: THE DECLINE AND FALL, by John Julius Norwich
In this, the third and final volume of Norwich's magnificent and moving
history, he tells of the dire consequence of the defeat by the Seljuk Turks
at the battle of Manzikerr in 1071; of the Fourth Crusade, whose Crusaders
hurled themselves against Constantinople, sacking the city and setting up a
succession of Frankish thugs on the imperial throne; and of the struggle by
the restored Empire against the advance of the Ottoman Turks. The
spellbinding account of the city's fall - the last great epic in the history
of the Middle Ages - provides a climax to a story worthy of Homer himself.

THE GREEK WAY OF LIFE, by Robert Garland
This engrossing book is the first
investigation of the life cycle of the ancient Greeks from the moment of
conception to the onset of old age. The author seeks to establish not only
what the ancient Greeks did at various ages, but how social persona was
shaped in the process of aging. He works directly from the ancient texts to
present a clearly written and admirably balanced portrait of how ancient
Greek men and women were born, grew up, and reached old age.

THE NAZI OCCUPATION OF CRETE 1941-1945, by G. C. Kiriakopoulos
This is the
true story of an American youth, Alexander, who was overcome by World War II
and the subsequent invasion of Crete while vacationing there. Following his
family's assistance to British soldiers and the subsequent execution of his
father by the Germans, he banded together with British commandos to form a
resistance movement against the Germans that set an example for all the
conquered people of Europe to follow. This is a story of stark reality of
human endeavor and sacrifice, marked by acts of heroism of which little has
been written.
248 pgs, 6.5x9.6, Cloth, $ 56.00
ONE MORE SPRING, by Peter M. Kalellis
In the Spring of 1941 the Nazis invaded Greece including the Lesbos, home of
young Peter Kalellis. This riveting account of fighting and enduring the
occupation is both a memoir of harrowing times and a story of Kalellis and
his three idealistic, fiercely loyal young friends, who defy the invading
powers and suffer the consequences of imprisonment and torture. It is also a
story of the people of the ancient city of Mytilene who cling to the hope of
liberation and freedom for three long years.
