Not illustrated. 1922 edition. Excerpt: ... II Venizelist policy for four weeks more." The moment to act had come, but the king would not move. Zaimis resigned. When Calogeropoulos..came to the premiership, tension reached its height. From all the larger islands of the Cyclades came manifestos, approved by large assemblies, urging Constantine to recall Venizelos without delay and threatening in case of refusal to establish a revolutionary government. This, however, did not shake Constantine's resolve. It made him more insolent. Losing all hope to win his sovereign back, Venizelos at last decided to take a drastic step to save Greece. He gave Constantine up. On September 26, accompanied by Admiral Koundouriotis, he left Athens. The next day they landed in Crete and proclaimed a revolution. e. The Entente's It is said that Baron Schenk, when expelled Blunders. from Athens with a pack of German agents of propaganda, said to an American Journalist who asked him about the future: "The question whether my work in Greece will last depends entirely on the Allies, who up to now have been my best assistants." This is no doubt an exaggerated statement. It reflects, neverthless, the folly and weakness of the Entente policy in the Balkans ever since the beginning of the Great War. II. An interview given by Venizelos March 13,1917 to the special envoy of the Havas agency, quoted by A. Gauvain, op.cit., pp.64. The secret treaty concluded between Italy and the Entente April 15,1915 was oftened refered to as a piece of poor diplomacy. This, to the writer, seems not true.

A case study of Greek-American relations between 1944 and 1949 which tests economic explanations of American foreign relations after World War II. Greece is seen as the trial period for American military activities abroad after 1945, resulting in the Truman Administration's rejection of Wilson's liberal-capitalist internationalism in favor of a permanent military input into policy making.

This volume is the authoritative Handbook guide to the development of Greek politics, economy, and society from the period of the fall of the Colonels' Regime (1974) to the present day, including the causes and consequences of the crisis in Greece and the aftermath of the crisis, in comparative and historical perspective.

This volume is designed to illuminate Greece'ss efforts in World War II and to set forth the reasons for Greece's importance to the U.S. today.

Bruce Kuniholm takes a regional perspective to focus on postwar diplomacy in Iran, Turkey, and Greece and efforts in these countries to maintain their independence from the Great Powers. Drawing on a wide variety of secondary sources, government documents, private papers, unpublished memoirs, and extensive interviews with key figures, he shows how the traditional struggle for power along the Northern Tier was a major factor in the origins and development of the Cold War between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R.

"At the apex of international Cold War tension, an alliance of Greek military leaders seized power in Athens. Seven years of violent political repression followed in Greece, yet as Cold War allies, the Greek colonels had continued international support- especially from Britain. Why did successive governments, those of Harold Wilson and Edward Heath, choose to pursue an alliance with these military dictators? Alexandros Nafpliotis' book examines British foreign policy towards Greece, exposing a guiding principle of pragmatism above all else. This is the first systematic study of Britain and the Greek military Junta of the early 1970s to be based on newly released National Archive documents, US and Greek sources and personal interviews with leading actors. Comparing and contrasting the attitudes of both Labour and Conservative governments towards the Junta in Greece, Nafpliotis outlines a great degree of continuity, as well as showing where and how moral and public relations issues were overcome in order to facilitate a close relationship with the colonels. 'Britain and the Greek Colonels' is a comprehensive history of international diplomacy and realpolitik in the Cold War period and will be essential reading for students and scholars of Cold War history, the history of modern Greece and International Relations."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

In Greece and the Allies, war correspondent G.F. Abbott gives a first-hand account of the often ignored or misundIn the Untroubled Mind, the influential Dr. Herbert J. Hall focuses on the crucial role spirituality and psychological stability have on medical health. Its message that physical medical care is inseparable from spiritual and mental care seems commonsensical now but was revolutionary when the book was published in 1915. The book is a landmark in modern attitudes towards health and of great value to those seeking an understanding of the psychological foundations of our physical well-being.erstood Greek role in the Great War. While the Greeks remained neutral until joining the Entente Powers in 1917, they participated heavily in the diplomacy of the time. The book shows that the indecisiveness of Greek foreign policy stemmed from the political and personal rivalry between King Constantine I and his Premier Eleftherios Venizelos.
