Coufoudakis, Van
Cyprus a Contemporary Problem in Historical Perspective
(Minnesota Mediterranean and East European Monographs XV) an extraordinarily sensitive and balanced analysis of an international crisis whose most recent phase was created in 1974 when Turkey invaded and occupied 37 percent of the island. This scholarly assessment could be useful in the hands of those who honestly seek to understand the nature of the Cyprus Question and those who may strive toward its solution. Whereas the Cyprus imbroglio affects primarily the various communities living on the island, chief among them the Greek and Turkish Cypriots, its international dimensions involve directly Greece and Turkey and other NATO Allies" 135p. maps. bibliography index.

Nick the Greek
In 1919 Nick Dandolos arrived in Chicago from Greece, pursuing the American dream. Instead, tempted into a high-stakes game of cards, he is driven to humiliation and defeat. From these depths he begins his painstaking mastery of the skills of gambling under the tutelage of the crafty old gambler, Nestor, who says, "If God wished to learn to gamble, he would come to me."Wreaking vengeance on the powerful gangsters who had beaten him, Nick begins a meteoric ascent that carries him through no-limit games with kings and tycoons, and, finally, gains for himself legendary status as "Nick the Greek." 302P.

Thomas, Donald
Cochrane : Britannia's Sea-Wolf
The controversial Thomas Cochrane, known to many as the "Sea Wolf", is second only to Nelson himself among the heroes and legends of the Royal Navy. Renowned for his daring, skill, and enterprise, Cochrane was much revered by his men and, remarkably enough, later went on to command ships in the navies of Chile, Brazil, Peru, and Greece, providing outstanding leadership in their struggles for freedom. As a Radical Member of Parliament and a staunch supporter of reform in its darkest hour, Cochrane stood on principle rather than on practicality and constantly found himself at the center of political firestorms.383p.maps bibliography, index Book
