Reviews

[Patrick · Rating 3 out of 5]

200 pages of the history of Corfu from the time of Ulysses to the British protectorate, 70 pages on the United State of the Ionian Islands as it was at the time the book was written with some source texts and the constitution as the appendix. Written very matter-of-factually but the dozens of ads at the end give away that it was written for a broad public.
