On this journey through the often tortuous paths of the Greek struggle we have had the company of a number of guides who were there at the time and speak from immediate experience, though each had to a certain extent his own agenda. Gordon is perhaps the surest of them, though he was not always completely open about the part he himself played. Finlay was a true friend of Greece, and spent most of the rest of his life in the country whose birth he had attended, but in his writings was always judgemental, often caustic and sometimes prejudiced; he aptly described himself as a disappointed enthusiast. Trikoúpis, though naturally seeing the conflict through Greek eyes and particularly those of his own primate class, was not blind to Greek faults, and provides detailed information going well beyond what he borrowed from Gordon. One warms to Makriyánnis, patriotic and conscientious, angry and compassionate, even if he sometimes placed himself nearer centre stage than was strictly justified. The bigoted François Pouqueville may not tell us the truth about what happened, but he does tell us what many would like to have happened. The sometimes gossipy detail of Kasomoúlis is in sharp contrast to the laconic style of Kolokotrónis, through which his feelings just occasionally blaze out. Raybaud always had an eye for the dramatic scene, while Howe was meticulous and sympathetic, a truly good man who could express his concerns in a telling phrase. And perhaps the most delightful companion of all was Byron.
Invaluable as these contemporary witnesses are, the story could not take shape without the many later works of analysis and interpretation, and the bibliography which follows includes those to which this book is most indebted. It is not a full bibliography, which would almost be a book in itself. For an excellent survey of relevant writings up to 1976 see the bibliographical essay in N. P. Diamandouros, ed., Hellenism and the First Greek War of Liberation.
