    It is very well documented and I think it is the best on the topics it describes. From my personal contacts with people who lived through the events, I think it is the closest to reality.

Description & Specifications

This book has already been a reference work for many scientific studies that followed, for its scientific validity and strong documentation in unpublished archival sources (Greek, Bulgarian, American, German, British), in the available literature as a whole, as well as in dozens of oral testimonies of living protagonists and witnesses of the events. Therefore, its reissue in revised form was deemed necessary. The central theme of the book is the recording and interpretation of the events concerning the armed action of the Greek resistance groups against the Bulgarian occupation of 1941-1944 in Eastern Macedonia and Thrace, which still remains relatively unknown to the general public. We observe the process of formation of initially independent and unconnected armed groups into a resistance movement by EAM/ELAS, which in the autumn of 1943 is reinforced by the General Allied Headquarters of the Middle East. Subsequently, an attempt is made to present the events and interpret the conflict between ELAS and the independent groups of the region, mainly consisting of Turkish-speaking Pontians. The conflict will lead to the formation of a separate resistance organization by the so-called nationalist guerrillas under the leadership of Antonis Fostyridis, better known as Anton-tsavos. The nationalist guerrillas will detach British Brigadier Miller, Chief of the Allied Military Mission, from ELAS, placing their services at the General Allied Headquarters of the Middle East. Thus, we have the phenomenon of two parallel competing organizations in Eastern Macedonia and Thrace.

Also examined are the broader political and military developments that shed light on the choices of the protagonists (nationalists, ELAS, and the British) at the local level. International developments and diplomatic processes that led to the end of the Occupation and the final withdrawal of Bulgarian troops from Greek territory are also examined. In this sense, this book is also a treatise that goes beyond local interest and concerns the overall study and interpretation of the phenomenon of National Resistance.
