The retreat of the Greek army after being routed by Turkish\r\nnationalist forces in Anatolia in 1922 was a catastrophic event. Yet, as this\r\nstudy of Athenian newspapers from 1919 to 1922 makes apparent, the bulk of the\r\nGreek press created the illusion that all was well at the front and hid the\r\nreality of impending disaster. Here Eglezou presents these familiar events\r\nthrough a dramatic new perspective: the role and content of the Athenian press\r\nas a means of propaganda. The reporting of the pro- and anti-government press\r\nis closely rendered to provide fascinating insights into why a delusory policy\r\nwas pursued to the bitter end. With a comprehensive account of the Campaign,\r\nEglezou adds a new dimension to our understanding of the history of modern\r\nGreece, as well as the relationship between the press and politics more\r\ngenerally.\r\n\r\nDr Georgia Eglezou\r\nMedia School\r\nBournemouth University<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From: Georgia Eglezou &lt;geglezou@bournemouth.ac.uk&gt; List Editor: Mark Stein &lt;stein@MUHLENBERG.EDU&gt; Editor&#8217;s Subject: H-TURK: New Book [G Eglezou] Author&#8217;s Subject: H-TURK: New Book [G Eglezou] Date Written: Tue, 3 Mar 2009 09:40:44 -0500 Date Posted: Tue, 3 Mar 2009 09:40:44 -0500 Dear members, I would like to inform you about the publication of my new book: Georgia [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":83,"featured_media":179167,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[225,89],"tags":[232],"class_list":["post-9809","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-greece","category-turkey","tag-history-english"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turkishnews.com\/en\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9809","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turkishnews.com\/en\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turkishnews.com\/en\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turkishnews.com\/en\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/83"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turkishnews.com\/en\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9809"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.turkishnews.com\/en\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9809\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turkishnews.com\/en\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/179167"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turkishnews.com\/en\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9809"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turkishnews.com\/en\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9809"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turkishnews.com\/en\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9809"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
