The Real Story of the Relationship Between Britain and Greece
ISBN-13: 9781036414535 / Angielski / Twarda / 2024 / 114 str.
There are thousands of books about England, on the one hand, and Greece, on the other, but none which looks specifically and critically at the story of the relationship between the two countries and their peoples, and in particular at how England has influenced modern Greece, not always to the latter's benefit. This book has been written by a former British diplomat with a Greek mother and English father, who has lived for the last thirty years in Greece. The book gives a true picture of the good, the bad and the ugly, warts and all, up until today, despite the efforts of various party-politically influenced academics and officials to play down embarrassing facts which do not fit their agenda. The book will appeal to discerning tourists as well as to international historians, Anglophiles and Hellenophiles, and will inject more transparency into the story, in order to rock the boat of apathy, rather than paper over the cracks, and thus promote and improve relations between these two great–or at least once great–countries.
