Inhaltsangabe

THE ANGLO-HELLENIC review - Autumn 1998 "Professor Vatikiotis" closely
researched study of Metaxas seems likely to become the standard work on
this highly controversial personality in Greek politics. The Hellenic
Journal - USA "Drawing heavily on origional Greek sources, the book makes
extensive use of Metaxas" diary, his correspondence, and the evidence of
his close friends. As a result of his wartime leadership of the resistance,
the author concludes, Metaxas must enter Greek history as a respected if
unloved figure." CHOICE - Sept 1998 - reviewed By EN Borza - Penn State
University "The book is a sensitive, balanced insight into the 20th-century
social and political forces that have confused most foreigners and even a
few Greeks." The Spectator, 4/4/98 "Professor Vatikiotis ... was an
original perceptive, witty and often unorthodox interpreter of the
political history of modern Greece. This last work on Greece as a "popular
autocracy" is no exception.
