Civil and Uncivil Wars: Memories of a Greek Childhood, 1936 – 1950

$26.95
By

LESS EXTREME THAN the wartime experiences of J. G. Ballard or Jerzy Kosinski but in the same vivid tradition, Civil and Uncivil Wars is a profound, touching, occasionally disconcerting, unfailingly candid, and consistently engaging reminder that the full measure of war and domestic unrest cannot be appreciated without the telling insights of the young.
