Sotiris Rizas presents his book "The End of the Great Idea" at the Hellenic American Union In the event, the author, on the occasion of the recently reissued, expanded edition of his book, will discuss it with academics Konstantina Botsiou and Efi Gazi. The conversation will be moderated by historian Stefanos Kavallierakis.As noted on the book’s back cover: “Its aim is to examine the development of Greek policy towards Asia Minor from 1914, when the issue arose due to persecutions of the Greek population by the Neo-Turkish regime, to the military defeat of 1922 and the uprooting of Hellenism after its long-standing presence on the shores of Ionia. The most appropriate perspective to understand Greek policy is through the lens of the National Schism, the division that emerged as a consequence of World War I. Asia Minor was one of the central issues of the debate over Greece’s participation in the war, highlighting a fundamental difference in approaches between Venizelos and the anti-Venizelist camp.” The book "The End of the Great Idea" by Sotiris Rizas is published by Kastaniotis Publications. |
