Description

The "unsubmissive" central character of the book was a real person who experienced and documented unknown segments of Greek history until today. His name in the text is a metonymy, as his descendants are still alive. All other public figures, military and political, appear with their real names in this thriller of war, espionage, love, and revelations about many unknown historical events.

The book is the first standalone part of a trilogy focusing on the True History of the National Schism during and after World War I. Instead of dry historiography, a literary narrative in the style of Homer was deliberately chosen. Thus, by presenting personal elements of the lives of ordinary people as well as the fateful leaders of our country, both Greek and foreign, the political and historical climate of the era is fully rendered.

The many years of writing the book were based on the narratives and "Notebooks of the Unsubmissive," which were preserved by his descendants. Starting from these, more than 260 sources were researched, constituting one of the largest studies on the subject. Used were: declassified secret documents from the foreign ministries of the USA, Russia, Germany, France, England, Italy, and the Vatican. Also, books, magazines, unexploited archives of the Hellenic Parliament, large and small private archives, newspapers, and other publications; all these documents are included in the book.

The relentless action begins in January 1916, in the brutally occupied by the "Allies" neutral Corfu. However, the revelations start from Crete in 1816, with a detailed presentation of documents related to Eleftherios Venizelos, as well as other subsequent elements concerning King Constantine I. The events take place in the historically unique Epirus, where the invented "Northern Epirus" with the still open "Northern Epirus issue" continues in Thessaloniki - a city-camp conquered by the forces of the Entente through Greek betrayal, extends to Macedonia, and concludes in Athens, blockaded by the "Allies" in June 1916.
