This book adds to the growing understanding of the commitment and sacrifice Australian troops made in Greece during WW II. The British expeditionary force that landed in Greece in April 1941, consisting largely of Australians and New Zealanders, was overwhelmed by the advancing Germans and evacuated by the Royal Navy. Many of the ANZAC troops were landed on Crete, only to be forced to evacuate to Egypt a month later as the Germans overran the island. Almost 1000 troops were left behind evading capture they preferred a fugitive life in the mountains to a POW camp. Protected and assisted by Cretan shepherds they were evacuated to Egypt and Libya by submarine and small boat over the ensuing months. Much has been written of the heroic deeds and daring escapades of WW II resistance fighters battling German invaders in Europe. Tom J. Dunbabin, Oxford scholar and archaeologist, became an unlikely… Read More

In greek.

In English. Soft cover, 21 cm, 356 pp.; net weight 540 gr. The progress from generator of European civilization to late Roman university town already crumbling but living off its past, to waste land where the past was unknown to its inhabitants, to provincial village under enemy rule, to beleaguered citadel in a Greece rebelling against its foreign overlords, to capital of a buffer state set up to suit the governments of Europe oscillating between the liberalism and counter-revolution of the 1830s, to the flashy smog-choked industrial holiday-and-boom-town of today, is unique in the history of cities. This collection of 88 writings from the 4th century AD to 1940 spans an age when, for most of the outside world, Greece was a myth and Athens off the map. That Greeks were not a mythical race, and that even a shattered and denuded Athens remained an integral part of European and Middle Eastern history, is demonstrated here in the pages of late pagans, oarly Christians, Byzantine and other medieval… Read More
