Book Description

Keele: Ryburn Publishing / Keele University Press. Mint/Near Fine. 1994. First Edition. Hardback. 1853310484 308pp, + 8pp of adverts for Ryburn books. Includes small map of Greece; list of Abbreviations; Appendix: Dramatis Personae; Bibliography; and Index. This book is a major contribution to a topic which remains both controversial and important for an understanding of British and American foreign policy after 1945. Dr. Sfikas, Lecturer in European Political History at the University of Central Lancashire, offers the first thorough and methodologically rigorous approach to this subject by focusing on factors which shaped British as well as Greek policy, and by his effective use of a wide range of British and Greek sources. The first chapter gives a penetrating analysis of the origins of the Greek Civil War, and then proceeds to examine subsequent developments, emphasising the cooperation between British, American and Greek governments in attempting to secure the victory of anti-communist forces. Greek Communist policy towards their domestic opponents and British patrons, and British perceptions of Soviet policy are also thoroughly examined. Dust-jacket has very slight rubbing to some corners and top of spine; jacket is in loose protective cover. A lovely Mint copy in a Near Fine dust-jacket. .
