Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewThe Kalamata Diary: Greece, War, and Emigration provides a fascinating view of the Greco-Italian War and German invasion of Greece. Sotiria Salivaras's diary reproduces at length original statements made by Greek leaders during that turbulent time and reveals the hopes and anxieties of a nation at war. Eduardo Faingold uses interviews and narrative to elucidate two different but interrelated episodes in Greek history: the experience of world war, occupation, and civil war in the 1940s and the immigration of Greeks—like Salivaras—to Latin America. -- Jay Howard Geller, University of Tulsa
