3 The present reviewer does not agree with the author when he alleges—based on inaccurate sources—that during the War of Greek Independence (1821—1829) “butcheries” and “cruelties” were committed not only by the Turks but, as he implies, to the same extent by the Greek insurgents. However, the well-known, unprecedented and systematic atrocities committed by the Turks, during that war, cannot be compared with a few, wholly isolated and rather insignificant cases of atrocities committed by the Greek insurgents in response.
