2001"A collection by William Abranowicz, The Greek File captures the essence of Greece - an alluring country where life itself is stripped down to its most essential components and the ordinary becomes extraordinary. From a single white cloud floating in a clear sky to a wrinkled linen shirt drying in the sun to shores dotted with throngs of buildings like pebbles washed in from the sea, Abranowicz's work elevates simple everyday objects to objects of austere beauty. These photographs capture the many facets of the Greek islands: their serenity, exceptional light, and arresting art and architecture. Introduction By Edmund Keeley: New in original shrink wrap. Book

2005Greece's economic history reflects the slings and arrows of outrageous fortunate that have bedevilled the country ever since it became independent in 1832. The road to development has been full of pitfalls such as coups, one fully fledged civil war, several Balkan wars, two World Wars, one devastating occupation, one global crisis, and two outright bankruptcies. These have endowed Greeks with a sense of insecurity of varying intensity. This has led to a deep-rooted conservatism in national economic planning and deep-seated protectionism on the part of industry and workers. The result is an inflexibility in the face of changing market demands that has, for many years, prevented liberalization and reform. Mark Dragoumis has been observing Greek affairs both from inside the government and as a journalist since the 1940s. His informative and compelling account explains economic developments in the light of political ones.111p.illus. Book

VIDEO The U.S.s first experiment with clandestine commando warfare took place in World War II. Under a secret OSS plan, small groups of specially trained U.S. Army infantrymen of various ethnic backgrounds were infiltrated into occupied Europe to assist local partisan groups in resisting the Nazis. Among these secret ""Operational Groups" were Greek Americans, whose mission was to make the German withdrawal from Greece in 1944 as costly as possible. They succeeded far beyond expectations, but the records of their secret service were sealed for forty years, and their story is largely unknown. This short video brings their bravery to light in anticipation of a full-length documentary. Book
