The Greek Civil War (1946-1949) was one of the few instances in the
post-World War II era of a clear-cut and permanent victory by
right-wing government forces over an insurgent communist movement.
Spyridon Plakoudas here explores the factors which ultimately
caused the downfall of the communist insurgency in Greece which
had, at some points, seemed undefeatable. He questions whether the
guerrilla movement fell victim to the feud between Stalin and Tito
or whether the significant British and, above all, American aid in
fact rescued the Greek monarchist regime from collapse. Plakoudas
explores the strategies adopted by government forces in order to
counter the communist insurgency, how external and internal actors
influenced these policies and when, how and why these policies
achieved success. Featuring previously unseen sources and
documents, this book reveals the strategy and tactics of the
monarchist regime.
