Beskrivning
In the aftermath of the Second World War, civil war erupted in Greece between Western-orientated government forces and Communist rebels. The Truman administration subsequently became heavily involved in the internal conflict, including the establishment of an American military presence on Greek soil and regular arms shipments. This early containment policy, focusing on Greece as a crucial outpost in the Mediterranean arena, was symbolic of "America's Commitment to Free World Principles", and her fear that the Soviet's ultimate goal was world domination.

From the cloth edition: `Jones provides a well-researched and careful analysis of the Americans' motives, the problems they faced and the solutions they evolved, as well as an estimate of the actual effect on Greece. ... Doubts about the existence of a master plan for a new system of operations in a threatened area, or about the extent of American success in Greece, do nothing to detract from the overall excellence of the work.'EHR, October 1993
