Vasilis Kartsios
Vasilis S. Kartsios was born in the village of Emmanouil Pappas in the Serres region. Since 1964, he has resided in Thessaloniki. In addition to publishing historical books, he has published or posted hundreds of articles, chronicles, and essays in newspapers and on his personal blog, istorikimnimi (The Unseen Side of History), http://booksonthesites.blogspot.com. The author places great importance on returning to the sources. He believes that the primary duty of a historian is to restore the truth beyond ideological and political biases. It is evident that uncritical repetition leads to historical formalism and distortion of the truth.
