Trade Review“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
