Rebels and Radicals: Icaria 1600-2000 Book

Beginning where he left off in Ancient Icaria, Papalas (history, East Carolina U.) combines some of his own experiences and interviews with a traditional study of the Greek island. He provides a detailed analysis of a frontier province in the Ottoman Empire from 1600 to 1912; then examines such 20th-century questions as poverty, emigration to America, the nature of the Axis occupation, the rise of Communism, the Civil War, and the rightwing reaction to the radical post-war movements.
