Gene Flynn leads you on a memorable journey from Athens and the Greek Islands to Ephesus and Istanbul. In a deeper sense, his journey follows the painful birth of modern Greece and Turkey. Greece won its independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1829 after an eight year war. Turkey was created in 1923 after World War I and the Turkish War of Independence. As he explores these historic lands, you will discover why England, France, and Germany have repeatedly intervened in Greek and Turkish issues. Americans have only snippets of knowledge of this region’s modern history, and much of that is not correct.
