Description
How close did Greece ultimately come to a disorderly exit from the euro? How did a young, charismatic, anti-austerity prime minister become enchanted by Germany's "iron" chancellor? What exactly did the infamous Plan B foresee in the event of Greece's departure from the Eurozone? What was really said in the secret meetings of the most powerful, and ultimately, who makes the most important decisions in Europe?
This book is based on over 230 hours of off-the-record interviews with 95 protagonists of the events that marked the country from January to July 2015: from this unique material, emerges a story of charismatic yet vain individuals, a series of miscalculations, and lost bets.
The gripping narrative will take the reader behind closed doors in government buildings and officials' residences, placing them in rooms where lengthy negotiations filled with hidden offers, secret promises, and blunt blackmail resulted in difficult compromises.
A book that reads like a real power thriller, in which everyone, Greeks, institutions, and foreign officials, contributed to placing Greece at the center of the "perfect storm."

Whoever closely followed the press of the time (Greek and International) did not become wiser. However, it is a book that presents all the events with accuracy and objectivity. Additionally, it presents details about the personalities of the protagonists and their personal ambitions that emerge from their actions and words. Anyone who wants to have a clear picture of what happened should read it.

Did you find this review helpful?A book that must be read by all Greeks in order to understand how the country was saved during that period. It is excellent how it presents what happened during that time. Finally, it is important to mention that from the day of its release until now, there has been no reaction of denial!

Did you find this review helpful?Detailed and documented with many "insider" elements about that dark period that the Greeks went through.
Translated from Greek ·Did you find this review helpful?Excellent simply. I have read it and I am rereading it without being able to comprehend how we were saved by a miracle.
Well-written, it presents facts and incidents as they are, from unknown until now aspects that truly impress you.
I have also given it as a gift to several friends of mine and the comments I received were more than flattering.P.S: To those who talk about non-existent assumptions, lack of documentation, etc:
Until today, nothing that the book writes has been disproven, and if someone had a different opinion, there is also the path of justice with evidence and proof. Whoever has doubts and believes that the authors are lying should take legal action.Translated from Greek ·Did you find this review helpful?Excellent, thrilling, just as Greece experienced during that controversial period. Nothing mentioned has ever been denied by the involved European officials!!!! All Greeks must read it.
Translated from Greek ·Did you find this review helpful?Shocking. Well-written. A difficult period for the country is vividly conveyed by the authors. It is worth reading
Translated from Greek ·Did you find this review helpful?Well-written, it vividly describes the drama that the country experienced and should be read by all Greeks so that they are aware of our collective responsibilities without exception...
Translated from Greek ·Did you find this review helpful?Very good and informative report on the events. However, direct evidence is missing, for reasons mentioned. There are, of course, indirect evidence from the country's progress
Translated from Greek ·Did you find this review helpful?It would gain points in documentation if it presented the information it constantly refers to in tables and documents. The way it is written resembles more of a novel than a recording of historical events, even if they are so close in time to their occurrence. Tsipras is presented as a rudderless ship (wherever the current goes, he goes too. With a phone call to his associates (who was really governing the country, Tzanakopoulos as he claims he said?) he constantly changes his stance. Ioannis (with one N) is presented as a person out of place and time, while his replacements are also inadequate for the circumstances. Surely the advertising helped in the sales of a digestible book, with little contribution to clarifying the events of the era.
Translated from Greek ·Did you find this review helpful?The book is well-written and describes the events of the economic crisis from 2010 onwards.
Translated from Greek ·Did you find this review helpful?* References - citations for financial data, nonexistent. Therefore, an exposition of ideas.
* Presents the government line as relatively unified while it is obvious that there were at least 3 camps (Dragasakis-Houliarakis, Varoufakis, Left Front).
* Does not analyze the progression of events in case the Dragasakis team had not sabotaged the negotiation, telling Draghi that Varoufakis is bluffing, there is no chance we will haircut the bonds, etc.
* Clear bias towards a neoliberal/technocratic line. Somewhat expected since it is a journalist from Kathimerini and an author who has no other book to her credit and is a member of a Brussels think tank.
* Overall, sees things very linearly, while they are multidimensional.Translated from Greek ·Did you find this review helpful?A book that we all need to read in order to learn how some led this country to the brink of destruction. It is well-written and gives me the impression that the events have been objectively portrayed.
Translated from Greek ·Did you find this review helpful?Very superficial and easily understandable book. Although it is claimed to be a product of "closed" interviews and confidential conversations, it is not based on any evidence. Economic indicators, numbers, data about debt, surpluses, growth rates are completely unsubstantiated, not derived from any scientific source, and there are no bibliographic references anywhere.
