Description: "Focusing on one of the most dramatic and controversial periods in modern Creek history and in the history of the Cold War, James Edward Miller provides the first study to employ a full range of international archives - American, Greek, English, and French - together with foreign language publications to shed light on the role the United States played in Greece from the end of its civil war in 1949 to the 1974 invasion of Cyprus." "A work of international history in the true meaning of the term, this deeply researched and engaging study offers a nuanced and well balanced assessment of events that still influence Mediterranean politics today."--Jacket.
