Produktbeschreibung

In the 1940s, Greece became for a long period the scene of devastating conflicts. First during the Second World War, then during the Civil War. The Nazi occupation, from 1941 onwards, was exceptionally harsh. Children died of hunger in the streets of Athens. Heroic acts of resistance provoked violent reprisals. Just as Greece was finally liberated from the German boot, the shattered nation found itself confronted with a civil war. In this book, distinguished historian David Brewer explores this turbulent decade of modern Greek history, examining the involvement of foreign powers-particularly Britain and the United States-and their efforts to support Athens' unpopular government, while also portraying leading figures from politics, the military, and the arts who shaped this crucial period. Brewer also seeks to view history through the lens of the individual: the dilemmas faced on a personal level by people caught between the gears of Resistance and occupation, and of opposing political forces during the Civil War. Brewer's perspective, insights, and interpretations of the conflicts and forces that shaped modern Greece make this book essential reading for anyone interested in the Second World War and modern Greek history.
