In 1922, the greatest catastrophe suffered by Hellenism occurred. For the first time in 3,000 years, Greek civilization ceased to develop on one of the two coasts that gave birth to it. Through 50 questions and answers, the following are examined with sobriety: - a major national and international conflict - the outbreak of the National Schism - the goals and major dilemmas of the protagonists - our deficits and mistakes - myths, misconceptions, and oversimplifications - the stance of the great powers, which naturally sought to satisfy their own national interests rather than ours - the claims of the Turkish side and the methods it chose to achieve them from 1914 to 1922 - the consequences of the Asia Minor Catastrophe. The conclusions, especially those that are not pleasing to us, constitute the minimum honor due to the memory of those who were lost then, our lost people.

I consider it a hagiography of Venizelos. I would expect a more objective perspective, but it is clear that the ideological bias of the authors could not support it.
Another "hagiography" of Venizelos and his politics. No objectivity, even though the book claims to try to see the historical period, now that 100 years have passed, within a framework of objectivity and distancing from the propaganda of both sides. Unfortunately, it is exactly the opposite. The main and fundamental cause of the Asia Minor catastrophe was the National Schism and responsible for it was Venizelos (as he himself admitted in parliament later). I also suggest that the reader reads the following books for a more comprehensive depiction of the events and to have the opinion of both sides in mind of the historical period:
a. "The truth about Eleftherios Venizelos" by Panagiotis Liakos
b. "The two Betas" by Athena Kakouri.
Extremely useful, divided into neither small nor particularly large chapters.
An excellent stimulus for discussion.
Extremely enlightening (classes superior to the rather simplistic one of Veremi's "22 Questions and Answers about '22")
