201332611Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press 2013 Book. Near Fine. Hardcover. Signed by Authors. 1st Pbk Ed. Classical Spies is the first insiders account of the operations of the American intelligence service in World War II Greece. Initiated by archaeologists in Greece and the eastern Mediterranean the network drew on scholars personal contacts and knowledge of languages and terrain. While modern readers might think Indiana Jones is just a fantasy character Classical Spies discloses events where even Indy would feel at home: burying Athenian dig records in an Egyptian tomb activating prep-school connections to establish spies code-named Vulture and Chickadee and organizing parachute drops.Susan Heuck Allen reveals remarkable details about a remarkable group of individuals. Often mistaken for mild-mannered professors and scholars such archaeologists as University of Pennsylvanias Rodney Young Cincinnatis Jack Caskey and Carl Blegen Yales Jerry Sperling and Dorothy Cox and Bryn Mawrs Virginia Grace proved their mettle as effective spies in an intriguing game of cat and mouse with their Nazi counterparts. Relying on interviews with individuals sharing their stories for the first time previously unpublished secret documents private diaries and letters and personal photographs Classical Spies offers an exciting and personal perspective on the history of World War II. 420p.bibliography.index.

2010046573London: I.B. Tauris 2010 Book. As New. Hardcover. 1st UK Edition. For almost four hundred years between the fall of Constantinople in 1453 and the Greek War of Independence the history of Greece is shrouded in mystery: distorted by Greek writers and largely neglected by others. What was life really like for the Greeks under Ottoman rule Was it a period of exploitation and enslavement for the Greeks until they were finally able to rise up against Turkish rule as is the traditional Greek nationalistic view Or did the Greeks derive some benefit from Turkish rule How did the Greeks and Turks co-exist for so long And why are Greek attitudes towards Venice who also controlled much of Greece for many of these years so different In this wide-ranging yet concise history David Brewer explodes many of the myths about Turkish rule of Greece. He places the Greek story in its wider international context and casts fresh light on the dynamics of power not only between Greeks and Ottomans but also between Muslims and Christians both Orthodox and Catholic throughout Europe. This absorbing and riveting account of a crucial period will ensure that the history of Greece under Turkish rule is no longer hidden. 308p. bibliography index. Paper slightly age toned. I.B. Tauris hardcover

When Archbishop Makarios was toppled as President of Cyprus in a 1974 coup and Turkish forces invaded the island few saw Cyprus as part of the incipient drive to create a new Europe. Yet as the authors reveal here behind the rhetoric of the politicians there is a growing view among Greek and Turkish Cypriots that the solution to Cyprus problems lies within the gift of Europe. They argue that the intercommunal stand-off can only be diffused and ultimately resolved by firmly embedding Cyprus within Europe. 150p.index. I.b.tauris hardcover

2002042882Santa Monica CA: Rand / Kokkalis Foundation 2002 Book. New. Soft cover. 1st US Edition. Greece has been profoundly affected by recent changes in the international environment on its borders and within the country itself. Many long-standing assumptions about Greek interests and Greece's role have fallen away and have been supplanted by new approaches. The country has become progressively more modern and more European and its international policy has become more sophisticated. At the same time the geopolitical scene has evolved in ways that present new challenges and new opportunities for Athens in its relations with Europe the United States and neighboring countries. Many of these challenges cross traditional regional boundaries and underscore Greece's potential to play a transregional role lookingoutward from Europe to the Mediterranean Eurasia and the Middle East. This report explores the new geopolitical environment Greece faces paying special attention to the implications for southeastern Europe and transatlantic relations; explores options for Greek strategy; and offers some new directions for policy in Greece and on both sides of the Atlantic. 113p. bibliography.

Dustjacket is protected in mylar.; Includes cd-rom; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 316 pages; While the sculpted Ionic frieze of the Parthenon with its galloping horsemen and classically portrayed gods is reproduced in every art history text and has been much studied by scholars no single book has yet been devoted to all its myriad aspects. This study by classical archaeologist and art historian Jenifer Neils breaks new ground by considering all aspects of this complex and controversial monument. Although the frieze has been studied for over two hundred years most scholarship has sought an overall interpretation of the iconography rather than focusing on the sculpture's visual language essential for a full understanding of the narrative. Neils' study not only decodes the language of the frieze but also analyzes its conception and design style and content as well as its impact on later art. Unusual for its wide-ranging approach to the frieze this book also brings ethical reasoning to bear on the issue of its possible repatriation as part of the on-going Elgin Marble debate. As one of the foremost examples of the high classical style and the finest expression of mid-fifth century Athenian ideology the Parthenon frieze is without doubt one of the major monuments of western civilization and as such deserves to be understood in all its dimensions. The accompanying CD-ROM contains a virtual reality Macromedia Director movie of the complete frieze based on the plaster casts in the Skulpturhalle in Basel Switzerland. Developed by Rachel Rosenzweig of the Department of Greek and Roman Art of the Cleveland Museum of Art the casts are arranged in conformity with Neils' reconstruction and enable the user to view them in succession as if walking around the Parthenon. The CD-ROM requires a computer running either MAC OS 8.01 or later or Windows 95 or later. . 0521641616 . Cambridge University Press hardcover
