Peter J. Stavrakis offers the first comprehensive analysis of Soviet conduct in Greece during the most critical period of Greek history in this century the last months of World War II and the years of the Greek Civil War. Stavrakis demonstrates that Soviet policy in Greece was highly mutable and reveals how its shifts were governed by Moscow's changing aims in the Near East generally, Soviet policy toward the Western powers, and the constantly changing Greek political situation.
