About This Book

A documentary account reconstructs the complex interplay of Greek internal politics and Allied diplomacy during and after the First World War, focusing on the schism between the royalist faction and the liberal government, competing British and French strategic interests in the Eastern Mediterranean, contested military plans such as operations in the Dardanelles and an Asia Minor expedition, and the diplomatic and military consequences that followed. The narrative relies on state papers, official documents, eyewitness material and personal investigation to trace decisions, rivalries, and their effects on Greece's fortunes.
