Through the lens of personal experiences, the author sheds light on diplomatic backroom dealings and chronicles events that influenced national and international developments.

In an anecdotal format, he refers to characteristic surprises of diplomatic life, intrinsically linked to key figures on the international stage. He documents the critical events of 1974, the wisdom of James Callaghan, the historic role of Mikhail Gorbachev, and the controversial personality of Yeltsin.

With narrative shifts between characters and events, he describes Andreas Papandreou's relationships with the leaders of his time, the discredited predictions of François Mitterrand, the legendary calm of Margaret Thatcher, while not failing to criticize the rude behavior of foreign diplomatic representatives and the attempts to distort historical reality to the detriment of our country.

Unknown aspects of modern history intertwine with politics and diplomacy, often demystifying personalities and situations.
