Mogens Pelt. Tying Greece to the West: US-West German-Greek Relations 1949–74. (Studies in 20th & 21st Century European History, Volume 5.) Copenhagen: Museum Tusculanum Press. 2006. Pp. 454. $64.00.

This book by Mogens Pelt shows how Greece was made to serve the strategic interests of the United States between 1949 and 1974, and how West Germany helped it to do so. The subject of American-Greek relations in these years is controversial, and since 1980 it has been the subject of many books and articles by academics, diplomats, and journalists. This book draws on a wider range of archival material than any of its predecessors do: chiefly U.S. diplomatic papers and also those of West Germany and, to a lesser extent, the United Kingdom. As the State Department archive is subject to a twenty-five-year rule, while its West German and British counterparts are subject to thirty-year rules, Pelt was able to use much material only recently made available. Most of the archives of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and other intelligence services remain closed, as do all of the Greek archives. However the open collections contain some CIA material.
