Clark, Bruce. 2006. Twice a stranger: how mass expulsion forged modern Greece and Turkey. London: Granta Books.
A new work on the subject (2006) with the most extensive variety and breadth of sources. About as non-partisan as one can be on this issue. Essential read.

Collection of 12 academic articles on the compulsory population exchange.
Conomos, Lysimachos. 1922. The martyrdom of Smyrna and eastern Christendom. London: G. Allen & Unwin.
One of the few original source documents on the Smyrna tragedy. Available in a few large research libraries only, including UC Berkeley and Princeton.
Dobkin, Marjorie Housepian. 1998. Smyrna 1922: The Destruction of a City. Newmark Press.
A story of the genocide of Pontic greeks at the hand of the "Turkish irregulars." One of the supressed histories of the 20th century.
The book is based on interviews with surviors and some additional written sources; though it is considered by a few to be one-sided,
it still remains one of the best known works on the subject.
Hirschon, Renee. 1998. Heirs of the Greek Catastrophe: The Social Life of Asia Minor Refugees in Piraeus. Berghahn Books.
The only book that really considers from the personal level the effects of a population exchange, on family and cultural history.
Smith, Michael Llewellyn. 1998. Ionian Vision: Greece in Asia Minor, 1919-1922. C. Hurst.
Extensive work on the last sizable Greek communities in Asia Minor, written by a former Brittish ambassador to Greece.
Carefully written, and considered to be somewhat free of the biases attributed to other works.
Quite good at demonstrating the role of the Brits in instigating much of the events that led to the so-called "population exchange."
