    Good book, only it gives me the impression that they are trying to whitewash Karamanlis for the debts he loaded onto Greece and many other things. We know after all that the Americans will not allow a government in Greece that has pro-Russian tendencies.. They did the same once with Makarios in Cyprus, they will do the same here in a similar case.

    Extremely interesting and easy to read, despite the abundance of information. Very good writing, as expected from M. Kottakis. Regardless of the reader's political stance - and mine is not at all close to that of Mr. Kottakis - it is worth reading.

    Book that leaves you speechless. Every modern conscious Greek should read it to understand the games our American friends are playing and the arrogant position we would be in today with all this current events if we had followed the path of the Karamanlis government as a state. The majority of the presented information is true, with evidence presented in the book. It is not the easiest read as it requires concentration to understand, but it is worth the time you will dedicate.

Description & Specifications

The invisible thread that connects the wiretaps, the diplomacy of pipelines, natural gas, the deadly fires of 2007, the threats against the former prime minister, the veto in Bucharest, Vatopedi, and December 2008 unravels for the first time through a multitude of documents and legal texts, shedding light on the real protagonists as well as all forms of aspirations during the governance of Costas Karamanlis.

The Confidential Files of Karamanlis attempt a second reading of the decisive milestones of the 2004-2009 governance, capturing converging and diverging strategies, stances, and resistances of domestic and non-domestic political forces, goals, and prospects for Greece and Europe, placing the new energy map and the redistribution of natural resources in the Euro-Russian zone and the Eastern Mediterranean at the center of the discourse.

Unknown documents, testimonial deposits, legal and diplomatic texts come to light for the first time, composing the mosaic of Karamanlis’ governance, a period that "marked" Greek politics at the beginning of the 21st century.

Figures, forces, institutional and non-institutional centers emerge through a gripping narrative that illuminates the unseen aspects of Costas Karamanlis’ governmental period, revealing the causal relationships and strong motives for its accelerated exit.
