Editorial Reviews

'A subtle analysis of Greek naval strategy.' - Defense et Histoire, La Lettre du CEHD

'A solid contribution to the history of the Balkan Wars and World War I in the Eastern Mediterranean.' - Journal of Maritime History

'Dr Fotakis has made an important study of a subject which often is neglected in the scholarly debate: the strategic and political background to the military and naval policy of smaller states ... The book is very well written, every chapter is well focused on a particular subject and the conclusions are carefully balanced and fully supported by relevant sources.' - Jan Glete, Stockholm University, Sweden

'He has successfully distilled a large amount of research into an admirably clear account which will be of value to all scholars working on the diplomatic and strategic factors which gave rise to the First World War and governed its course ... It is an impressive debut for a young historian.' - Journal of Maritime Research
