Greek Shipowners and Greece 1945-1975

About this book

The Greek ship-operating industry underwent a period of extraordinary growth in the years following the Second World War. But the factors in this growth have been the subject of considerable uninformed debate, as have the benefits to Greece itself. This account by Dr. Harlaftis is a major breakthrough in our knowledge and the body of data presented and analysed here now makes it possible for an informed historical view to be taken of Greek pre-eminence in sea transport.
