This gripping and richly illustrated account of wartime Greece explores the impact of the Nazi Occupation upon the lives and values of ordinary people. The first full account of the experience of occupation, it offers a vividly human picture of resistance fighters and black marketeers, teenage German conscripts and Gestapo officers, Jews and starving villagers.

"Fascinating. . . . [Mazower] succeeds in getting under the skin of the occupation. . . . [This book] conjures up, in vivid detail, life under an occupation that had shattered old certainties and replaced them with painful choices, cynical compromises, and hopes undercut by the daily death toll." &;Mark Almond, New York Times

"A vivid picture of the German occupier&;s mind and actions. . . . Mazower&;s arguments are always fair." &;Richard Eder, Los Angeles Times Book Review

"A superb book on the horrors afflicting wartime Greece. . . . [Mazower] has done vast archival research and emerged with a gripping, readable and human account, setting every moment of a tragic period in appropriate context." &;Fritz Stern, Foreign Affairs

"[A] sensitive, illuminating and richly textured account of painful, complex experience." &;Richard Overy, Observer
Mark Mazower is professor of history at Birkbeck College, University of London, and author of Dark Continent.

Industry Reviews

"[A] sensitive, illuminating and richly textured account of painful, complex experience." Richard Overy, Observer "Fascinating... [Mazower] succeeds in getting under the skin of the occupation... [This book] conjures up, in vivid detail, life under an occupation that had shattered old certainties and replaced them with painful choices, cynical compromises, and hopes undercut by the daily death toll." Mark Almond, The Times "This is the first thorough account in English of almost every aspect of life in Axis-occupied Greece. It draws on a mass of material, including Greek wartime newspapers and German military archives. All of this is absorbed into a highly readable narrative and illustrated with sometimes heartbreaking contemporary photographs." Noel Malcolm, Sunday Telegraph "Mazower's elegant prose and meticulous eye for detail cut to the heart of the nature and effects of the occupation on Greek society and political life... With its rich historical detail, vivid accounts, its sheer scope and perceptiveness, it is a must for the professional historian and an eye-opener for the interested general reader." Spyros Economides, The European "A vivid picture of the German occupier's mind and actions... Mazower's arguments are always fair." Richard Eder, Los Angeles Times Book Review Winner of the 1994 Longman/History Today prize. Joint winner of the 1993 Fraenkel Prize in Contemporary History."
