Inside Greek Terrorism
ISBN: 9780199333394 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The long story of Greek terrorism was meant to have ended in the summer of 2002 with the collapse of the country's premier terrorist organisation and one of Europe's longest-running gangs, the notorious 17 November group (17N). However, rather than demoralising and emasculating the country's armed struggle movement, the dismantling of 17N and the imprisonment of its members led to the emergence of new urban guerrilla groups and an upsurge in and intensification of revolutionary violence.
Given the sheer longevity of the 17N terrorist experience, George Kassimeris sets out to analyse the... The long story of Greek terrorism was meant to have ended in the summer of 2002 with the collapse of the country's premier terrorist organisation and ...
