A presentation of the new book entitled "Grandeur and Gridlocks: Leaders of Modern Greek History" by Thanos Veremis, on the occasion of its publication, will be hosted at the Hellenic American Union Theater (22 Massalias Street, Athens), on Monday April 3, 2017, at 19:30.
In his new book, Professor Emeritus of Political History at the University of Athens Thanos Veremis chooses to shed light on four periods of the history of modern Greece, which divided the Greeks and influenced social developments in the country. Among others, the book focuses on the two Civil Wars in the aftermath of the Revolution of Independence in 1821, the age of the National Schism (1915-1920) and aspects of the policies of the two main rivals- King Constantine I and Eleftherios Venizelos, the Metapolitefsi (post-junta era) and the policies of the two main leaders, Constantine Karamanlis and Andreas Papandreou, and, lastly, the era of Andreas Papandreou.
Sotiris Rizas, Director of Research at the Research Center for the Study of Modern Greek History of the Academy of Athens will say a few words on the book. The event will be moderated by journalist Giannis N. Baskozos.
The event is organized by the Hellenic American Union in cooperation with Hellenic American College (HAEC) and Metaichmio Publications.
The presentation will be held in Greek.
Admission is free of charge.
