Review: Barbarism in Greece


Barbarism in Greece
Barbarism in Greece by James Becket

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



This book has some moving, detailed first-person testimony of torture victims of the Greek junta, but is bookended with very dry material. First, there is textbook-like background and history, then appendices of commission findings, Greek government responses and tables.
