The documents edited by H. Åükrü Ilıcak in Those Infidel Greeks comprise the English translations of select documents from the Ayniyat Registers on the Greek War of Independence preserved in the Ottoman State Archives. The primary importance of these documents is that they are a clear testimony of the larger imperial context in which the Greek War of Independence evolved and proved successful. The mass of information they contain is immense and allows the reader to follow on an almost day-to-day basis how an empire tried to suppress a national uprisingâthe first of its kind in the early nineteenth century.
Contributors: ÃaÄrı ErdoÄan, H. Åükrü Ilıcak, Nikola Rakovski, Mehmet Savan, Kahraman Åakul, and Aysel Yıldız.

H. Åükrü Ilıcak, Ph.D. (Harvard University, 2011), is a fellow of the Institute for Mediterranean Studies in Rethymno, Crete. He has published broadly on the Greek War of Independence and the so-called Ottoman âThree Nations.â
