'masterly, and very well-written ... Mazower's book provides the
indispensable economic context of the slide towards
authoritarianism in 1930s Greece, a development that was paralleled
in the other countries of the Balkans.'
Times Higher Education Supplement
`closely researched study, ... it is an authoritative analysis of
Greek politicians in their social and economic context and of the
interplay of domestic political, economic and social forces.
Nigel Clive, The Times Literary Supplement
'a splendid study ... a well-written and thoroughly researched
book, one valuable to the scholar and interesting and enlightening
to the general reader. It should become an indispensable reading
for all students of modern Greek history. Mazower has produced a
good book.'
John A. Koumoulides, Ball State University, History
'Thanks to his knowledge of the language, Mazower makes good use of
a wealth of information available in Greek.'
Thanos Veremis, University of Athens, European History
Quarterly
'this pathbreaking study will do much to attract interest to a
previously neglected area ... It is the first scholarly work on
Modern Greek economic history to appear in English ... Meticulously
researched ... and accompanied by a wealth of illuminating tables
... this volume will be of interest to more than economic
historians, and the author has clearly made great efforets to make
the book accessible to all readers ... This is a volume that
provides what
has long been the missing economic dimension in the history of
inter-war Greece; as such, it will be essential for anyone looking
at Greece's political history.'
Erik Goldstein, University of Birmingham, MGS 11:2, October
1993
`The author has made extensive use of Greek sources and recent
Greek research and he brings out the ebb and flow of Greek politics
as well.'
English Historical Review
