Description

Our perception of Greece conjures up many potent images: an ancient civilization brought alive by fable, hillsides dotted with sunbaked villages, lazy beaches lapped by crystal blue waters, the warmth and humour of its people.

Yet if we look behind the picture-postcard imagery, the painful contradictions of the country begin to emerge.

James Pettifer's classic text on Greece, now revised and updated with extensive new material, argues that it is vital to understand this country's present by looking at the far-reaching effects of its troubled past.

He surveys the roots of Greek social, economic and political realities with intelligence and convincing clarity.
