562 PARTISAN WARFARE IN GREECE 1941-44

1-999562

Examines the German, Italian, and Bulgarian occupation forces in Greece during 1941-44 as well as those of the two Greek Resistance organizations. The strongest resistance force was the Communist-dominated National Liberation Front (EAM) with its partisan Greek Popular Army (ELAS). Agents of the Western Allied powers had only brief success in mediating cooperation between the mutually hostile EAM/ELAS, and the National Republican Greek League (EDES) with its EOEA. Foreshadowing the Greek Civil War that would follow liberation, ELAS and EOEA clashed, in the background to their separate operations against the Axis occupiers. Contains eight color artwork plates, as well as black and white photos and illustrations.
