Britain and the United States in Greece: Anglo-American Relations and the Origins of the Cold War

Autor Spero Simeon Z. Paravantes
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 oct 2020
For the first time, Britain and the United States in Greece provides an in-depth analysis of Anglo-American diplomacy in Greece from 1946 to 1950. After Word War II, as Europe floundered economically, British Prime Minister Clement Attlee looked to disengage Britain from some of its broad international obligations and increase American support for its new foreign agenda. One place he sought to do so was in Greece.Spero Simeon Z. Paravantes reveals how the relationship between Britain and the US developed in this formative period, arguing that Britain used the fast-escalating tensions of the Cold War to direct US policy in Greece and encourage the Americans to take a more active role - effectively taking Britain's place - in the region. In the process, Paravantes sheds new light on how the American experience in Greece contributed to the formulation of the Truman Doctrine and the containment of communism, the structure of Greek institutions, and ultimately, the birth of the Cold War.Drawing on a wide range of sources from Britain, the US, Greece and the Balkans, this book is essential reading for all scholars looking to gain fresh insight into the complex origins of the Cold War, 20th-century Anglo-American relations, and the history of modern Greece.

Recenzii

This book triggers our interest, once again, in the formative role that Greece has played in European and international history. By drawing on a wealth of sources and focusing our attention on a remarkable group of individuals, the author has crafted an insightful and stimulating narrative that challenges our assumptions about the place of Greece in contemporary history. In doing so, it also asks us to reconsider the Anglo-American relationship during WW II and the early Cold War in a new light.
In this ground breaking study of the background to the Greek Civil War, Paravantes traces the development of Anglo-American policy in a meticulous analysis of the complex diplomacy of the time. It is likely to be a landmark in modern Greek historiography.
