Description: "The essays gathered in this book, some previously unpublished, examine aspects of this connection between two countries situated at opposite ends of Europe. Four focus on the period of the Second World War when British influence in Greek affairs was at its greatest. A particular theme is the controversial role of the Special Operations Executive, the agency charged with supporting resistance in occupied Europe, and its often difficult relationship with the Foreign Office on the one hand and its American counterpart, the Office of Strategic Services, on the other. Other essays focus on the development of the academic study of modern Greece in Britain."--Jacket.
