A panoramic book of modern Greek history to learn "truths" that historical research overlooks or suppresses. How much do we really know about the history of Greece during the first half of the 20th century? Historians usually emphasize wartime events, the achievements of great men, and political and social rivalries. However, many of the "omissions" of History are equally, if not more, interesting.

Drawing from numerous sources, the authors of this book highlight the hidden side of the period 1910-1945: unknown incidents related to military operations, military movements, as well as significant social and political events (the National Schism, the Trial of the Six, the fate of the refugees, etc.). Additionally, aspects of everyday life during this period are presented, while the character and actions of not only the key players on the political scene are brought to life, but also figures from the fields of science, literature, and the arts (among others, A. Delmouzos, P. Delta, N. Kazantzakis, P. Kanellopoulos, K. Karyotakis, A. Papantoniou, A. Fleming).
