As commander of the Allied Military Mission to the Greek guerrillas
in Greece in 1943-4, C.M. Woodhouse has to hold an uneasy balance
between the communist and government sides. Against a background of
conflicting communist doctrine, shifting foreign alliances,
territorial disputes and personality differences, the communist
struggle for Greece unfolded in three rounds. The first began in
1941 with the German occupation of Greece when the National
Liberation Front attempted to regain control of the country and
overthrow the monarchy. In the second round, the communists tried
to seize power at the end of the German occupation in December 1944
and were frustrated by the intervention of British forces. The
third round (1946-9) was marked by US intervention, UN fact-finding
missions, and the shift from guerrilla tactics to conventional
warfare. The communists were weakened by internal feuding and
overcome by the US forces. The author based his research on
interviews with participants, documentary sources and his own
experience. He analyzes the characters, ideologies and events
behind one of the longest and most bitter civil wars of modern
times.
