Mark Mazower's "After the War was Over"

Paper Summary:

This paper is a critical analysis of Mark Mazower's collection of papers. 'When the War was Over: Reconstructing the Family Nation and State in Greece 1943-1950', provides an overview of the Greek Civil War that began as the Nazi occupation began to loosen its hold. It serves as an account of basic communists and nationalist divisions, British role in SOE training for main communist resistance movement, and others' Cold War ambitions, and the Truman Protocol of 1947 that brought peace and aid to Greece but shaped successive governments in the need to comply with Western strategic aims.

From the Paper:

"The Nazis rolled into Greece in the spring of 1941, prompting almost 10 years of sometimes severe political violence. In Mark Mazower's After the War was Over, his approach resembles what appears in his other works on Greek and also, Balkan history. In the collection of papers discussed, here, there is a definite point of view and depth that Mazower has tried to impart. The British Special Operations Executive (SOE) trained Greek underground groups towards attacks on the Nazi forces so that Greece's Civil War involved SOE-trained communist guerrillas in conflict with the state forces."
