'This is an excellent analysis of the social conditions that gave birth and contributed to the development of the Greek guerrilla during the German occupation. Through a detailed and in-depth analysis of the elements that prevailed in the countryside, Tsoutsoumpis presents an impressive study of the armed resistance and the following civil war between the communist guerrillas and the anticommunist forces in Greece throughout the period of the Second World War.'
Nikos Marantzidis, Associate Professor of Balkan, Slavic and Oriental Studies at the University of Macedonia in Thessaloniki (Greece) and Visiting Professor of History at Charles University in Prague
