In the 1940s, Greece was the site of devastating wars for a long period of time. First during World War II, then during the Civil War. The Nazi occupation, from 1941 onwards, was extremely brutal. Children were dying of hunger on the streets of Athens. Heroic acts of resistance provoked violent reprisals. As soon as Greece was finally liberated from the German boot, the shattered nation found itself facing a civil war.
In this book, respected historian David Brewer explores this turbulent decade of modern Greek history, examining the involvement of foreign powers, especially Britain and the United States, and their efforts to support the unpopular government in Athens. He also profiles prominent figures - from the realms of politics, the military, and culture - who shaped this important period. Brewer also attempts to examine the history from the individual's perspective, the dilemmas faced on a personal level by people caught between the wheels of the Resistance and the occupiers during the Occupation, and the rival political forces in the Civil War.
Brewer's perspective, opinions, and interpretations regarding the conflicts and forces that shaped modern Greece make this book of vital importance to anyone interested in World War II and modern Greek history.
