Pressestimmen
This is one of the most contentious and incompletely studied periods in Greek history, and these essays throw light into places which were until recently obscured by political prejudice, some of them even assumed to lie outside the bounds of historiography. -- Michael Llewellyn Smith, Times Literary Supplement This excellent collection of first-rate case studies is not only a significant contribution to the history of Greece but is of serious value to anyone interested in the comparative study of occupation and civil war, as well as reconciliation and reconstruction. -- Laurie Kain Hart, Journal of Military History
Kurzbeschreibung
This volume makes available some of the most exciting research currently underway into Greek society after Liberation. Together, its essays map a new social history of Greece in the 1940s and 1950s, a period in which the country grappled - bloodily - with foreign occupation and intense civil conflict. Extending innovative historical approaches to Greece, the contributors explore how war and civil war affected the family, the law, and the state. They examine how people led their lives, as communities and individuals, at a time of political polarization in a country on the front line of the Cold War's division of Europe. And they advance the ongoing reassessment of what happened in postwar Europe by including regional and village histories and by examining long-running issues of nationalism and ethnicity. Previously neglected subjects - from children and women in the resistance and in prisons to the state use of pageantry - yield fresh insights. By focusing on episodes such as the problems of Jewish survivors in Salonika, memories of the Bulgarian occupation of northern Greece, and the controversial arrest of a war criminal, these scholars begin to answer persistent questions about war and its repercussions. How do people respond to repression? How deep are ethnic divisions? Which forms of power emerge under a weakened state? When forced to choose, will parents sacrifice family or ideology? How do ordinary people surmount wartime grievances to live together? In addition to the editor, the contributors are Eleni Haidia, Procopis Papastratis, Polymeris Voglis, Mando Dalianis, Tassoula Vervenioti, Riki van Boeschoten, John Sakkas, Lee Sarafis, Stathis N. Kalyvas, Anastasia Karakasidou, Bea Lefkowicz, Xanthippi Kotzageorgi-Zymari, Tassos Hadjianastassiou, and Susanne-Sophia Spiliotis.

History on the ground
28. Januar 2001
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Mazower's previous book on Greece in the 1940s was outstanding for providing a clear picture of life "on the ground" in occupied Greece. Several of the essays in this new book similarly provide a texture of life during the civil war, while others provide a texture of Greek life after the insurrection ended. I don't see this as a book favoring either the left or right (a formulation that would mean little now anyway), but as showing the difficult decisions that ordinary Greeks had to make at that time. If you are tired of books about the Greek civil war that revolve around the actions of the King, Churchill, Truman and Stalin, this book is a must.

Crimes of "Greeks" against Greeks.
17. Januar 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
This book simply includes a few "leftist" accounts of what happened after the war was over. That is, about the naive Greeks putting into action new things they learned during the war, and, specifically, what the British Secret Operations Executive trained them to do: "set Greece ablaze, by fire an Axle." But, the book is worth having for the following simple reason: to see how a contemporary "historian" translates the name E.L.A.S. E.L.A.S. was the Communist militant organization that the S.O.E. financed in order to commit crimes against the German solders. Since the E.L.A.S. militants were cowards and feared the Germans, they concentrated their criminal efforts on fellow Greeks. No Greek can make any sense out of the British policy towards them because it was not meant to make sense. On page 4 of this book, the "historian" author, Mazower, translates E.L.A.S., (Ethnikos Laikos Apeleftherotikos Stratos) as Greek People's Liberation Army. How about, National Socialist Liberation Army? But, what do the words "national" and "liberation" have to do with Marxism? Mazower cannot answer this; it is a question for real historians and those who really know what is behind British policy.
