Beginning in 1941, the occupation of Greece by Germany was intensely brutal. Children starved on the streets of Athens. The Jewish population was decimated in the Holocaust. Heroic acts of resistance -- performed in concert with the SOE -- were met with vicious reprisals. When Greece was finally freed from Nazi rule in 1944, the fractured and embittered nation became engulfed in civil war, as conflict flared between the British and American-sponsored government and communist-led rebels."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $2European history 607 $aGreece$xHistory$yCivil War, 1944-1949 607 $aGreece$xHistory$yOccupation, 1941-1944 676 $a949.5074 700 $aBrewer$b David$f1932-$01654493 801 0$bNLE 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813061503321 996 $aGreece, the Decade of War$94030341 997 $aUNINA
