Starting with the new reality created for Greece by the Asia Minor disaster, (. . .), the author recounts the Italian attack on Corfu, the October 1923 Counter-Revolution, the dethronement of King George II, and the proclamation of the Republic without a King, (. . .) up to the (. . .) attempt at a smooth political life, the return of Eleftherios Venizelos to active politics, and his electoral triumph in 1928.

It records the second (1928-32) period of Venizelist governance and its activities in domestic and foreign policy, the global economic crisis of 1929 and its consequences for Greece, the divisive climate of the 1932 elections, the alternation of Liberals and Populists in power, and the subsequent political instability, up to the 1935 movement, the restoration of the Monarchy, the death of Eleftherios Venizelos, and finally, the dictatorship of August 4th and the contradictions of the Metaxas regime in its internal and external orientations.
