Jeremy Isaacs, in his book 'Storm over 4: A Personal Account' (published 1989) writes in defence of the series that, "Greece: The Hidden War did not lie".

Presented by the Bristol Radical History Group, programme one will be introduced by Jane Gabriel, the producer of "Greece: The Hidden War", and she and Theo Papadopoulos, a political sociologist, will be available for a q and a at the end of the screening
