This book is excellent in presenting the chameleon-like "nationalism" the peoples of North-Western Greece engaged in pre- and post-WWII. Survival was paramount and taking sides was the name of the game - politics and nationalism was the vehicle, not the end goal. Also worthwhile is the presentation of the full gamut of "ethnicities" that were (and can still be found) in the area - even though both Greek and Slavic protagonists deny the existance of each other, and a myriad of others. Overall, a well researched book, which will appeal to those readers interested in detailed facts specific to these particular prefectures found in Greece.
