Book Description

Viking. Near Fine/Near Fine. 1993. First Edition. Hardback. Well illustrated with 29 telling plates and 7 pages of maps. 256pp including Epilogue and Index. Greek life since the Axis Occupation and the Civil War has been dominated by the memory of those years - periods of progress and democracy have been interspersed with periods of dictatorship and civil conflict. This book explores how it is impossible to understand the Greek present without reference to this recent past, and how the attitude of ordinary Greek people to society is still conditioned by these events, by this interaction of past and present. Also, he looks at hitherto neglected aspects of the new Greece that are beginning to influence current events, such as the potentially volatile mixture of minorities, the Albanians, the Vlachs and the Muslims of Thrace - and the Macedonian question. Dust-jacket has very minor rubbing to some corners and one corner reinforced with archival tape; jacket is in loose protective cover. Overall a lovely Near Fine copy in a Near Fine dust-jacket. .
