Opis

This book sheds new and revealing light on British cultural and information policies in Greece by unearthing previously unexamined and less rigorously screened primary sources. These sources draw an intricate picture of a moment when, in the ruins of post-war southern Europe, British institutions sought to infiltrate and shape Greek society.
