A collection of essays by European and American specialists
offering new and authoritative analyses of the Greek civil war and
its international dimensions.
The Greek civil war that broke out at the end of World War II
was one of the formative events in the early days of the Cold War.
In the fall of 1944, at the moment of liberation from the German
occupiers, Greece stood at the "crossroads," in need of a new
constitutional and social order. However, the factions that vied
for influence over the state promoted their particular agendas with
a vehemence, exclusiveness, and mistrust that destroyed any chance
for genuine compromise and reconciliation.
The essays collected here represent a systematic attempt to
examine the domestic and external forces that were actively
involved in the Greek civil war of the late 1940s and that
contributed to its resolution. Specifically, they consider the
political options available to postwar Greece by identifying the
principal actors promoting such options and analyzing their
programs, tactics, strengths, and weaknesses. They also highlight
the close interaction among domestic, regional, and global levels
of conflict and measure the impact of that conflict on the
political development of Greece.
