From the preface: "The report is mainly based on the remarkably frank memoirs and accounts published by a number of the military participants including Brigadier Myers, commander of the British mission to the Greek guerrillas; Colonel Woodhouse, his successor; and a number of the other British liaison officers. Of the Greek guerrillas, Colonel Saraphis has given us his account of the Communist group, and lesser figures such as George Psychoundakis and Chris Jecchinis have added the flavor of guerrilla warfare as seen by the non-Communist tactical practitioner. A manuscript written by Maj. Matthew J. Vlissides, formerly of the Greek Army, detailing his firsthand experience with guerrilla warfare in the Greek islands, has been useful. Accounts of antiguerrilla warfare in Greece by German commanders have been used, as have some captured German war records. A complete, annotated list of the literature from which data were obtained is given in the Bibliography at the end of the report." . First Edition (No Additional Printings). Hard Cover.
