Indispensable for all serious students of modern Greece and essential reading for anyone interested in Greek politics, economy, foreign relations and culture. The contributors, from four different countries, combine empathy and objectivity in their studies of modern Greek literature, the development of a genuine national language, the Greek economy, the methods and results of American economic aid, means of increasing inter-Balkan cooperation, the inept Communist Party leadership in postwar years, the political history of the military dictatorship of 1967-74 and of the Greek-Turkish conflict, and stages in the emancipation of Greek women.
