The package includes

THE LAST DAYS OF THE PRIEST

With the completion of 100 years since the tragedy that struck Asia Minor and Thracian Hellenism, historical research continues to present opportunities that shed new light on the developments at the time. The anecdotal material is vast in volume and this book is a product of unknown information and data.

Focusing on his controversial face Aristides Stergiadis, High Commissioner of Smyrna since 1919, unfolds the story of the tragic days of August 1922 through the correspondence of the competent authorities from the war front and the General Headquarters in Smyrna to the Smyrna High Commission and the government in Athens.

THE 100 EVENTS THAT MARKED GREECE FROM 1821 TO THE PRESENT

During these turbulent two centuries for Europe and the world, the Greeks rebelled, formed a nation-state, fought to consolidate their position on this side of Europe, stood tall in the quicksand of the Balkans, gave their blood toll in all great wars. Modern Greece was rocked by a civil war and a dictatorship, but it was also raised by struggles for human freedom and was fortunate to give birth to two Nobel Prize winning poets.

This edition attempts a review of the most important moments of modern Greek history that shaped Greece – and either they stand out as dark examples that nevertheless forged the character of the Greek state, or they illuminate our way into the future as beacons of hope.
