Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This study is not strictly prosopographical or a socially aristocratic account of historiography depicting the lives of three selected individuals; it is an attempt to portray the way that these three individuals blended their resources and socio-economic standings with their involvement in communal affairs to benefit the Greek community and enhance the image of Hellenism in the mainstream society. The three Australian Greek voices appearing in this volume could be treated as a sample pattern; they are all unique cases of settlers with advanced civic conscience, who acquire national and international reputation dedicating their charisma to the common cause."-- Introduction.

Book excerpt: "On the night of September 6-7, 1955, the Greek community of Istanbul was violently struck throughout the expanse of Turkey's most important metropolis. Within hours, businesses, homes, and even the churches of the Greeks were in ruins, with the British press calculating the damage at $100 million. It was the beginning of the end for the ethnic descendants of the city's founders, who had settled this eastern tip of Europe two and a half millennia earlier. This vicious and unprovoked attack quickly became entangled in the Cold War politics of the time, and the truth of it was just as quickly suppressed. Now, on the fiftieth anniversary of the mass destruction, Speros Vryonis has painstakingly reconstructed the events of that night in his magisterial work, The Mechanism of Catastrophe: The Turkish Pogrom of September 6-7, 1955, and the Destruction of the Greek Community of Istanbul. . . ."--Jacket.
