The Karaiskakis by Dimitris Fotiadis is a work born from the author's love and admiration for this hero and his struggles and sacrifices for the liberation of Greece from the Turkish yoke.

From his desire to restore the truth in many aspects – both in the life, actions, and death of Yiou of the Kalogria, as well as of other honorable fighters and our people – to illuminate the events with testimonies from independent and objective individuals of that time and, in short, to set things right.
