At the apex of Cold War tension, an alliance of Greek military
leaders seized power in Athens. Seven years of political repression
followed yet, as Cold War allies, the Greek colonels had continued
international support, especially from Britain. Based on newly
released National Archive documents, US and Greek sources and
personal interviews with leading actors, Alexander Nafpliotis
explores why the British governments of Harold Wilson and Edward
Heath choose to pursue an alliance with these military dictators
and offers the first systematic study of Britain and the Greek
military Junta of the early 1970s. Comparing and contrasting the
attitudes of both Labour and Conservative governments towards the
Junta in Greece, Nafpliotis outlines a great degree of continuity,
as well as showing where and how moral and public relations issues
were overcome in order to facilitate a close relationship with the
colonels. 'Britain and the Greek Colonels' is a comprehensive
history of international diplomacy and realpolitik in the Cold War
period and will be essential reading for students and scholars of
Cold War history, the history of modern Greece and International
Relations.
