Book Description

ISBN-10: 1889247049 | ISBN-13: 978-1889247045 | Publication Date: February 15, 2005

A powerful autobiography set in the turbulent decade of 1940s Greece. Through the eyes of an impressionable and intelligent young man who came of age in a time of world war, foreign occupation, resistance, and civil war, we witness the tragedy and trauma suffered by Greece. While uniquely personal, this is also the story of young Greeks cast unwillingly into the ambivalences and horrors of WWII.

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing book!, May 18, 2003

"super_sophie" (Arlington, VA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Blood and Tears: Greece 1940-1949: A Story of War and Love (Hardcover)

My grandfather wrote this book and would have to say that it is an extremely original book. Not many people know about the history of Greece during the 20th century or about the people that lived through the wars faced by Greece. Everything is described with amazing detail. It is definatly worth your time!
