Description & Specifications

With the Balkan Wars (1912-1913), Greece doubled its territory and population. In this book, through the narratives of protagonists at all levels—soldiers, officers, politicians, journalists, volunteers, nurses, etc.—the prevailing atmosphere of Greek society before and during the wars emerges, as well as the ideological framework that captivated and mobilized it. Critical and controversial aspects of these two wars are revealed, as well as the psychological and ideological changes they brought to Greek society. But how were the Balkan Wars recorded in historiography in real-time and retrospectively, when the myths and distortions of the National Schism and the Asia Minor Catastrophe had infiltrated the memory of the wars? The juxtaposition and comparison of testimonies bring to light two differentiated versions of narratives. The first concerns narratives of the wars written in 1913-1914, examining the subject without embellishments. However, a second version of narratives after 1915 reveals the battles fought in the field of historiography for the ideological dominance of each side of the National Schism, as well as for the personal vindication of the protagonists. The differences identified in the retrospectively published testimonies relate to the function of memory and the acknowledgment that the memory of experience is reshaped daily under the influence of the present.
