Talk:Grigoris Afxentiou

Untitled

It seems like a lot of unsubstantiated claims are being made and the language is quite emotional (e..g. "through his cunning") - maybe this page needs a tidy up? --mgaved (talk) 16:42, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Have neutered the language and added references. Nipsonanomhmata (talk) 08:53, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Source

I am dubious that The Memoirs of General Grivas constitutes a reliable source for claims of torture. Are there any other sources available? Leithp 21:48, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

It's a fair source. He was after all the man in charge of the freedom movement that he founded and he provided a considerable amount of detail that can be independently verified. Few are likely to know more about the movement that Grivas founded, than himself, or describe the actions that he commanded in the detail that he has. He was a down-to-earth man of high moral fibre and principle and is very respectful throughout. If you haven't read his book you should try it. I doubt there is a better source on the practicalities of guerrilla warfare. Nipsonanomhmata (talk) 08:53, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

I´m not against using Grivas, but when possible scholarly material should be used as well for balance. --Greece666 (talk) 17:10, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

Source See Foley's Island in Revolt

Charles Foley is a very good source for Afxentiou. British journalists witnessed his last stand in the Troodos Mountains. They were even given chairs. Folley was the editor of the Times of Cyprus at the time and the most neutral British observer but at times partisant towards the Greek Cypriots as he pointed out the incompetence of the British Colonial Office. As regards Grivas I think he was a brilliant startegist and guirella leader but his politics were flawed-he was right of Attila the Hun. Recent books published in Greek challenge his military ability - Afxentiou was a moderating influence on him though. It was after his death I think that Grivas started killing left wingers.
