About This Item
New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 1990. First Edition. Hardcover. 0374135533 . Red quarter cloth over black board. Handsome copy with some top edge soil else FINE. Pp. xii, [3], 4-369 [371-photograph credits]. Index. Illustrated with black and white photographs. "Eventually the government in Athens produced a suspect, Salonika journalist Gregory Slaktopoulos, whose confession led to his trial and conviction and placed the blame for the murder squarely on the Communists. Marton's captivating, solidly researched inquiry presents three major arguments. First, she contends, the confession, obtained under torture, was false. Second, Polk, an outspoken critic of the royalist regime, probably doomed himself by threatening to expose its corruption. Third, investigators, including Donovan, conspired to cover up rightist sanction of the murder. The royalist regime, she concludes, in fact arranged Polk's death."'--Publishers Weekly, 1990. ; 9.40 X 6.20 X 1.30 inches; 370 pp pages .
