Reviews for A Shared World: Christians and Muslims in the Early Modern Mediterranean
"A much needed reinterpretation of a remarkable period in Crete's history."
Vernon Egger, History "This book ... is one of big ideas... The reader is left feeling that Greene not only proposes bold ideas, but undergirds them with serious, and carefully interpreted, primary research."
K.E. Fleming, American Historical Review
