Review: Having used Mazower's "Dark Continent" with university students;having read his magisterial tome on Hitler's empire; then moved to his excellent early book on Greece under Nazi occupation..arriving at "Salonica" seemed like a destined journey where this reader could expect enlightenment,stimulating ideas,detailed information and unexpected links with many other historical topics. I was not disappointed. A supremely readable book,with its erudition carried lightly,dealing through its focus on a city that was part of the great Ottoman empire with the demise of that empire; the hellenisation of the multi-racial city after 1912; the forced population movements of Muslims out of the city;and of "greeks" from asian Turkey in in the 1920s;the weak new democracy succumbing to military rule before Nazi(and Italian) war time occupation and the destruction of its distinctive Jewish population as part of the "Final Solution".A wise and thought provoking book about a unique city recreated by a superb historian.
