This book seeks to comprehensively analyze and document U.S. foreign policy toward a strategic Cold War ally that posed a stark challenge to the traditionally-stated U.S. preference for democracy and political freedom. It details the complex ways in which the U.S. reacted to that challenge and went about crafting policies of longer-term accommodation with a regime it wished to retain as a close ally in a strategically important part of the world.
“Karakatsanis and Swarts do a superb job of demonstrating both the United States' unpreparedness for the April 1967 coup d'etat and the agency of the Greek junta relative to the American government. … the excellent research done by these scholars. … Karakatsanis and Swarts's work will remain a standard in the field for years to come.” (Andre Gerolymatos, Journal of Modern Greek Studies, Vol. 37 (1), May, 2019)
