1914. World War I changes the lives of millions of people around the world and consequently in the small Greece that aspires to embrace the giant Hellenism. Few suspect that a combination of decisions, unfortunate circumstances, and dramatic events will lead to what is called the greatest disaster in the history of Hellenism.

Through the pages, the most important events, decisions, hidden historical details, diplomatic background, and war scene are highlighted in an understandable way.

Alongside the development of events, the author narrates 4 stories with a novelistic touch. These depict through the eyes and experiences of ordinary people the collective joy, sorrow, and anxiety of a mother, a father, and a daughter from Asia Minor and a soldier and his father from Old Greece.
