Greece in the 1960s produced one of Europe's arguably most
controversial politicians of the post-war era. The contrarian
politics of Andreas Papandreou grew out of his conflict laden
re-engagement with Greece in the 1960s. Returning to Athens after
20 years in the US where he had been a rising member of the
American liberal establishment, Papandreou forged a social
reform-oriented, nationalist politics in Greece that ultimately put
him at odds with the US foreign policy establishment and made him
the primary target of a pro-American military coup in 1967.
Venerated by his admirers and despised by his detractors with equal
passion, the Harvard-educated Papandreou left in his wake no
clear-cut answer to the question of who he was and what he stood
for. Andreas Papandreou chronicles the events, struggles and ideas
that defined the man's dramatic, intrigue-filled transformation
from Kennedy-era modernizer to Cold War maverick. In the process
the book examines the explosive interplay of character and
circumstance that generated Papandreou's contentious, but
powerfully consequential politics.
