Half a century after the civil war which tore apart Greek society in the 1940s the essays in this volume look back to examine the crisis. They bring a new comparative approach to the study of the Greek Civil War and establish the sometimes obscure links between Greek and European historical developments in the 1940s. They also highlight the complexity and interconnections of the social economic and political cleavages that split Greek society and provide a comprehensive and subtle understanding of the origins course and impact of the Greek Civil War in a variety of contexts and levels.Combining the approaches of political and international history with the latest research into the social economic religious cultural ideological and literary aspects of the struggle and underpinned by the use of a wide range of hitherto neglected sources The Greek Civil War broadens the scope of the enquiry and offers fresh analysis.
