Πολιτική και συγκρότηση κράτους στο ελληνικό βασίλειο, 1833 - 1843 Μέρος Α'

This book is widely regarded as a landmark work in Greek historiography and possibly the most important study of the Absolute Monarchy period in Greece (1833-1843). Reviewers praise the author's remarkable effort to reconstruct the era using an extensive volume of primary and secondary sources. The treatment of influence exerted by the three Greek political parties (English, French, and Russian) and foreign powers, including their diplomatic missions in Athens, is highlighted as exemplary, covering both major policy issues and daily affairs. The book also offers an interesting introduction to the political conflicts during the Greek Revolution and the initial period of Bavarian rule and state formation.

Despite its monumental status, some reviewers note a few drawbacks. The book is described as being excessively detailed, which can make it quite tiring for readers at times, though this level of detail is acknowledged as perhaps justified given its origin as a dissertation. Additionally, the epilogue is considered disappointing by some, feeling underwhelming for a work of such significant scope and depth.

Overall, the book is considered an essential and highly valuable study, a true milestone for its subject matter. It is strongly recommended for anyone deeply interested in the early Othonian period, the Absolute Monarchy in Greece from 1833-1843, the formation of the Greek state, and the political dynamics of the Greek Revolution. Its comprehensive nature makes it an indispensable resource for scholars and serious students of this historical era.
