This book was begun in 2007 as a short handbook on Greek terrorism based on official accounts. It turned into a multi-year research project, an attempt to disentangle the lies and wishful thinking of Greek urban guerrillas and the people pursuing them. Fluent in ancient and modern Greek, Kiesling watched the 17N appeals trial, interviewed key participants, waded through masses of archival material, and used computer software and painstaking deduction to reconstruct the secret history of the Greek armed revolutionary movement. Greek Urban Warriors is the first in-depth analysis of the revolutionary counterculture that emerged from the armed resistance to the 1967-74 military dictatorship and has continued its existence in the Greek political landscape to this date . . . indispensable for anyone who wants to seriously study the last four decades of Greek history. The author Kiesling is a former U.S. diplomat who was also stationed some time in Athens.
