The book by Professor Christos St. Martis is a historical-political book and at the same time a valid historical testimony. The author from Kaisariani, with the perspective of a young member of Epona, but also as a mature university professor today, narrates the historical and political events of the critical 20-year period from 1930 to 1949.

The narrative begins with the settling of the refugees from the Asia Minor catastrophe, their living and working conditions, the causes of the rise of fascism, the global struggle of the great powers, and how humanity was led to the destructive Second World War.

It accurately reconstructs the harsh life of the people during the occupation years, the hunger, their struggle for survival, and the heroic fight against the occupier and their local collaborators, the traitors.

The presentation of events is recorded on three parallel levels: that of the international developments on the fronts of the war conflicts, the disputes and political developments within the country, and how all of this reflects in the life of a young person – as the author was – and in the formation of his consciousness.

The narrative reaches the Liberation, the December events, and the wave of terror, persecutions, and murders organized by British imperialism along with the local reactionaries that followed the Varkiza Agreement.

A work based on documents and rich photographic material that is distinguished by the passion and genuine concern of the author for historical truth.
