In the volume are published 230 documents from the personal archive of the diplomat and politician Georgios I. Pesmazoglou, great-grandson of Andreas Miaoulis. Spanning a period from 1813 to 1841 (with the vast majority of them relating to the revolutionary and early post-revolutionary years), the documents illuminate various points of the admiral's private and public life and at the same time shed light on many aspects of that turbulent and critical period of Greek history. The documents are accompanied by a long informative introduction, which reconstructs the historical context of those years, and enlightening comments of the editor of the volume, while the bibliography, glossary and detailed indexes facilitate the reader's access to the published material.
