Following the defeat of the Greek Army in 1922 by nationalist Turkish forces, the 1923 Lausanne Convention specified the first internationally ratified compulsory population exchange. It proved to be a watershed in the eastern Mediterranean, having far-reaching ramifications both for the new Turkish Republic, and for Greece which hadto absorb over a million refugees. Known as the Asia Minor Catastrophe by the Greeks, it marked the establishment of the independent nation state for the Turks. The consequences of this event have received surprisingly little attention despite the considerable relevance for the contemporary situation in the Balkans. This volume addresses the challenge of writing history from both sides of the Aegean and provides, for the first time, a forum for multidisciplinary dialogue across national boundaries.

The basis of this book is Heskel's belief that Philip II's policies regarding Athens cannot be properly understood without a thorough investigation of the preceding events of the 360s, and what Heskel describes as the `hitbed of diplomatic and military activity' that was the North Aegean in that period. By making the region, rather than the actions of any one power the central focus of the study, Heskel aims to fill in the gaps left by previous writers on the subject.
