A new book of interest to all at Kythera_Family.Net. 'BRITAIN'S GREEK ISLANDS Kythera and the Ionian Islands 1809-1864' By Peter Prineas 'BRITAIN'S GREEK ISLANDS' tells the story of five decades in the early nineteenth century when the British ruled the Ionian Greeks. Drawing on extensive research in the archives and illustrated with maps, photographs and historic prints, 'BRITAIN'S GREEK ISLANDS' reveals the sometimes turbulent relationship that existed in the Protectorate known as the 'United States of the Ionian Islands'. 'BRITAIN'S GREEK ISLANDS' also reveals much about life on the island of Cerigo (Kythera) in those times, and shines a light on some important, but largely forgotten, events. The story of 'BRITAIN'S GREEK ISLANDS' is placed in the wider history of Europe and the Near East, from the Napoleonic Wars, though the Greek War of Independence, the Crimean War, and struggles over the 'Eastern Question' that resonate to this day. ADVANCE NOTICE OF BOOK LAUNCH 'BRITAIN'S GREEK ISLANDS' will be launched in Sydney in early October. Full details will appear on the message board of Kythera-Family.Net at and in the October issue of the Newsletter of the Kytherian Association of Australia. To discover more, visit the Britain's Greek Islands website.
