Description The year 2021 marks the 200th anniversary of the start of the Greek Revolution. In addition to the state's efforts to ensure that the anniversary is celebrated with the grandeur it deserves, the people must also be fully informed about the multifaceted and complex epic of '21. The best celebration of a great event is the accurate knowledge of the event. Sarantos I. Kargakos, faithful to the principle of Leopold von Ranke (1795-1886), labored to record what actually happened ("Wie es eigentlich gewesen ist"). He avoided what is now in vogue: the fabrication of events at will. The astute Talleyrand once said, "Nothing is made as easily as events." Yes, but nothing is written as difficultly when you respect the facts. And this is something the Greek people have begun to appreciate. This is the best reward for us.
