Читать книгу Greek Military Intelligence and the Crescent - Dr. Panagiotis Dimitrakis - Страница 3

Acknowledgments

I owe special thanks to Professor Sir Lawrence Freedman and Dr Joseph Maiolo, of the Department of War Studies, King’s College London, my PhD supervisors for their advice and support. I would like to thank all of my interviewees who provided me with a rare insight into the Greek-Turkish relations and intelligence estimating. Without their personal interest and patience this research would have never been completed. Special thanks go to Olympia Wood, John Wood and Peter Barnes for their help in copy-editing. My publisher Paul Honeywill of the University of Plymouth Press deserves special credit for bringing into life this book.

Finally, I owe a great debt to my family, Yiannis Dimitrakis, Dimitra-Mimi Petropoulou-Dimitrakis and Timos Dimitrakis, for their moral and material support, for the insightful foreign-policy and history-oriented conversations we have, and for believing all these years in my work. This book is dedicated to them.
