During the decade of the 1940s Greece experienced harsh
German/Italian/Bulgarian occupation, the emergence of a powerful
resistance movement and civil war between communist and nationalists.
This critical period in the country's modern history is graphically
illustrated through contemporary documents, many of them translated from
Greek, many of them difficult to access. This annotated documentary
collection, which is prefaced by a substantial introduction, affords a
penetrating insight into the history of the 1940s from a variety of
perspectives.
