FIFTY YEARS after the imposition of the Military Dictatorship (1967-1974), Dimos Papadimitriou (D.P.) consistently and responsibly traces everything that marked and shaped us during those years, in order to illuminate today's dark "tunnel" and the "footprints of our future" with the knowledge of the past.

In his book, D.P. provides a convincing and comprehensive picture of what has defined us by identifying the primary causes that brought us to these arid times. His work is simultaneously a valuable contribution to our contemporary Political History (1967-2016) and a useful "compass" so that we do not get lost in the "deep waters" of the complex reality that has enveloped us in its "fog."
