?[S]hrader's study is exceptionally well-researched and
documented....Shrader's study is among the most well-documented
English-language histories of the Greek civil war. Shrader's study
is especially welcome for its scrupulous objectivity and balance,
something lacking in many (particularly Greek-language0 studies of
the period....[T]he Withered Vine is not only a well-documented and
balanced study, but it also provides a great deal of essential
historical background to the Greek civil war, focusing on its
orgins in the Greek resistance during World War 2....Integrating a
great number of factors, Shrader weaves them together in such a way
as to offer a comprehensive, well-integrated explanation of the
loss. In short, The Withered Vine is a well-written, fascinating
study that deserves to be read by anyone interested in this period
of Greek history or in insurgent guerrilla warfare, more
generally.?-The European Legacy
