American Foreign Policy Towards the Colonels' Greece (eBook, PDF)

Uncertain Allies and the 1967 Coup d'État

Beschreibung

This book seeks to comprehensively analyze and document U.S. foreign policy toward a strategic Cold War ally that posed a stark challenge to the traditionally-stated U.S. preference for democracy and political freedom. It details the complex ways in which the U.S. reacted to that challenge and went about crafting policies of longer-term accommodation with a regime it wished to retain as a close ally in a strategically important part of the world.

Rezensionen

"Karakatsanis and Swarts do a superb job of demonstrating both the United States' unpreparedness for the April 1967 coup d'etat and the agency of the Greek junta relative to the American government. ... the excellent research done by these scholars. ... Karakatsanis and Swarts's work will remain a standard in the field for years to come." (Andre Gerolymatos, Journal of Modern Greek Studies, Vol. 37 (1), May, 2019)
