By far the best book for the life of Aris Velouchiotis. The author spent half of his life doign research on Velouchiotis and managed to talk with many of his comrades and other people who knew him. Unfortunately, this is the only trully legitimate thing about this book. The author often tries to explain the events and politics of the era with flawed reasoning. He even gets dates mixed up. Still most of what he describes is true, the resistance got screwed by everyone: - the extreme Right (many of whom cooperated with the Nazi Germans) - the "democratic" government (who used the extreme Right in order to retain the power) - the Greek communist party (who had no balls to act on its own and waited for guidance from USSR, when USSR had other priorities)
I would advise all readers to read more books in order to understand what happened in Greece during the 1941-1950 era and not to stick with just this book. Still, if you want to know about Aris, this is what you have to read first.
