This book sheds new and revealing light on British cultural and
information policies in Greece by unearthing previously unexamined or
insufficiently examined primary sources. These sources draw an
intricate picture of a complex moment when, in the ruins of post-war
southern Europe, British institutions, principally in this case the
British Council and the BBC, sought to infiltrate and shape Greek
society by promoting British political and social values. As Cold War
tensions became increasingly evident, the book shows how British
information and cultural policy increasingly became embodied in a
sustained anti-communist propaganda campaign. As the civil war in
Greece became an epicentre of the early Cold War, the successes and
failures of British policy, and their impact on Greek society more
generally, are scrutinized in detail.
