“The study by Konstantinos Katsanos decodes the intricate mechanisms and critical parameters of Greek-Yugoslav relations during the period 1950-1967. The sober reflection, penetrating insight, and accessible language are virtues of the study that help the reader to understand more clearly and deeply the scope, the constraints, and the dynamics in the bilateral relations between Greece and Yugoslavia.

Several established notions are re-evaluated and revised, thus contributing to a calm assessment of emotionally charged, often controversial, figures and events. Katsanos debunks certain myths that have become entrenched in the consciousness of the average citizen, most notably the one that claimed the Greek political and diplomatic leadership of the time was indifferent, thus contributing to the theory of the 'non-existent Macedonian' during the post-war period.” Iakovos Michaildis, Associate Professor, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki [Excerpt from the text on the back cover of the edition]
