Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the building of two warships for the Greek navy in 1825 amidst the Greek War of Independence. The author, a Greek official tasked with supervising the project, exposes the exorbitant expenses and fraud that plagued the endeavor. Although initially promised a timely completion within a reasonable budget, the author discovered that the project had spiraled out of control, both in terms of cost and timeliness. The contractors, LeRoy Bayard, and G.G. S. Howland, were accused of mismanaging funds and submitting inflated invoices. The book provides a detailed account of the negotiations, correspondence, and legal battles that ensued between the author and the contractors. It sheds light on the challenges of international arms procurement during wartime and the ethical dilemmas faced by those tasked with safeguarding public funds. Ultimately, the author's determined efforts, coupled with external scrutiny, led to the unearthing of the financial irregularities and the eventual acquisition of the warships, albeit at a significantly higher cost than initially anticipated. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
