Διόπτρα Εμφύλιος - Ελλάδα 1943-1949, ένας διεθνής πόλεμος

When the word "Civil War" is mentioned, there are usually two kinds of reactions: Some choose to change the subject or they shy away. Others see it as an occasion to express their beliefs and often the discussion derails into heated confrontations. However, how well do we know this tragic period, which is still the pivotal point of our modern history? Why do we continue to avoid it or approach it with scathing comments on social media, instead of studying it calmly and objectively? In a book as fascinating as a film, the distinguished historian Dr. Andre Gerolymatos analyzes not only the few years of the battles, but starts from the roots of the National Division and reaches the deafening cries that are heard today in the Hellenic Parliament for Meligala and Grammos. In a unique, original narrative, based on until recently classified documents from Greece, the United States and the British secret services, the author proves that the Civil War was – above all – an international war and the first act of the Cold War. And, ignoring the sirens of political science, it reveals a brilliant mural of our country's bloodiest war. A mural that inspires awe, gives food for thought and offers the reason to take a few steps forward.
