The book has a very comprehensive history of Judaism in Greece and aligns it very well with the development of the Greek nation, developing ideas of "nationality," and how Judaism plays into the new Greek identity that was created in the 19th and 20th centuries. The author also tastefully includes how Zionism affected the Greek state during its development and how the ideology provided both a form of comfort for Greek Jews, but also multiple problems as it was setting the Greek Jews apart from their other identity, which was Greek. The author was also able to wrap it all up nicely, concluding the book with a discussion about Judaism in Greece in the 21st century, and how Zionism affects it still today.
