'An amply researched monograph covering an important period of Anglo-Greek relations. Maragkou deftly presents the dilemmas and tasks facing three successive British governments during the period of Greece's military dictatorship, and addresses the perennial conflict between pragmatism and principles.' -- I.D. Stefanidis, Professor of Diplomatic History, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki

'Maragkou tells a good story based on fairly recently released Foreign Office papers and numerous interviews with now elderly participants in the policy and diplomatic processes.' -- Times Literary Supplement 'This is an illuminating book that describes vividly democratic Britain's pragmatic foreign policy vis-a-vis the Greek military junta. Based on rich archival work, it exposes the limitations of realpolitik in action.' -- Othon Anastasakis, Director of South East European Studies at Oxford 'An amply researched monograph covering an important period of Anglo-Greek relations. Maragkou deftly presents the dilemmas and tasks facing three successive British governments during the period of Greece's military dictatorship, and addresses the perennial conflict between pragmatism and principles.' -- I.D. Stefanidis, Professor of Diplomatic History, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki
