As I lived them (1981-1993)
The facts that are recounted in this book, that constitutes the second part of political autobiography of Yannis Varvitsiotis, are placed between two nodal electoral confrontations for Greece, that both led to the defeat of New Democracy and to the undertaking of power by PASOK. Yannis Varvitsiotis, from the leading executives of New Democracy and one of the main protagonists of last decades in the political scene of the country, presents period 1981-1993 "as he lived it" from inside, from the front line. The rise of PASOK, the governments of "Allagi" and the eminent "decade 1980". The political confrontations and the big scandals. The fall of real socialism and the shocking realignments it involved. The "right parenthesis of" Mitsotakis' government and the Skopje issue. And of course, the three and a half years service of writer in the Ministry of National Defence, one from the more critical ministries of the Greek state during the agitated geopolitical period of the beginning of the 90's. Yannis Varvitsiotis presents the stigma of the entire period through known but also unknowing, in the wide public facts, giving with directness, simplicity and sincerity his own testimony for a period that stamped mainly the later course of country.
