From the preface: "The late convulsions in Greece and Turkey, and the consequent revival of all the mis-statements which, during the War, flowed from ignorance or malice, render the publication of this book particularly opportune. Mr. Abbott deals with his subject in all its aspects, and presents for the first time to the British public a complete and coherent view of the complicated circumstances that made Greece, during the War, the battle-ground of rival interests and intrigues, from which have grown the present troubles. In this book we get a clear account of the little-understood relations between the Greek and the Serb; of the attitude of Greece towards the Central Powers and the Entente; of the dealings between Greece and the Entente and the complications that ensued therefrom. Mr. Abbott traces the evil to its source—the hidden pull of British versus French interests in the Eastern Mediterranean, and the open antagonism between M. Venizelos and King Constantine. All these subjects are of acute interest, and not the least interesting is the last. The persecution of King Constantine by the Press of the Allied countries, with some few good exceptions, has been one of the most tragic affairs since the Dreyfus case. Its effect on the state of Europe during and since the War is remarkable. If King Constantine's advice had been followed, and the Greek plan for the taking of the Dardanelles had been carried out, the war would probably have been shortened by a very considerable period, Bulgaria and Rumania could have been kept out of the War, and probably the Russian Revolution and collapse would not have taken place; for, instead of having Turkey to assist Bulgaria, the Allied forces would have been between and separating these two countries.

About the Author George Frederick Abbott (born 1874, died 13 March 1947 at Tunbridge Wells) was an English war correspondent and author. He was educated at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, taking the degree of B.A. in 1899. In 1900 he was sent by Cambridge University to Macedonia to make studies in the folk-lore of that region. He acted as special correspondent in southwestern Europe for several London newspapers until 1903. In 1905 he accompanied the Prince of Wales (later on, George V), on his tour of India. Besides contributing articles to many reviews and magazines, he wrote: * Songs of Modern Greece (1900) * Macedonian Folk-Lore (1903) * The Tale of a Tour in Macedonia (1903) * Through India with the Prince (1906) * Israel in Europe (editor, 1907) * Greece in Evolution (1909) * Turkey in Transition (1909) * The Philosophy of a Don (1911) * The Holy War in Tripoli (1912) * Greece and the Allies (1923) He was made Knight Commander of the Royal Hellenic Order of the Redeemer. He was married to 'Elizabeth' Wilhelmina Hay Lamond (1884-1957), an equalitarian feminist campaigner, and they had one son, Commander (E) Jasper A.R. Abbott, OBE, RN (1911-1960).

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A neat history By Jetpack While the author has a very strong dislike for Venizelos, it's still a very interest read on the history of how Greece ended up in World War I. It really shows how different the world was just 100 years ago. Can you imagine landing 100K+ troops in another country without 24 hour TV coverage? My opinion of Venizelos was rather solidified by other WWI reading or Ataturk: The Biography of the founder of Modern Turkey, but he comes off even worse here.Easily recommend for any WWI history buff, and this is the free Kindle version. 3,683 locations in total.
