'Bearing Gifts to Greeks fills a gap in the history of the war in Greece, and stands well alongside the better trodden paths of political and military history of the occupation, the resistance, and the Allied Military Mission. It is a story of misery and inhumanity, but also of inspiring human action and hope.' - The Anglo-Hellenic Review
