This book, first published in 1989, is the first general study of
Communism in Mediterranean Europe during and immediately after the
war. It sheds light on the origins of Europe’s Cold War East-West
divide and probes the common and conflicting interests of the
Soviet Union with the separate national and Communist resistance
movements. It explores controversial issues including Stalin’s
intentions in post-war diplomacy, Communist attitudes to Nazi
collaboration in France, and the origins of the Cold War. The
decade following the outbreak of the war saw the transformation of
society through armed conflict, national resistance and political
revolution. The relationship between resistance to Fascism and
occupation, on the one hand, and profound social and political
changes on the other, was especially marked in southern Europe. In
France and Italy, Communist parties emerged as prominent
participants in post-war governments; in Yugoslavia the Communist
partisans seized full power and effected a social revolution; while
a similar attempt in Greece led to a long and bitter civil war.
