Ioannis Metaxas's Personal Diary - 4 Volumes
Category: metaxa greek
The testimonies of the political men about the events of their time take the form of memoirs, which are written in retrospect. Thus, having in mind all the material, that is, all their actions, those who write can easily present them in the way that seems most advantageous to them. And it is natural that such testimony of theirs is judged according to the circumstances under which it is given. In the case of Metaxas, this is not the kind of retrospective recollection. Almost nothing that we publish has been reviewed or modified in retrospect by Metaxas. Most of them are testimonies of the era to which the events refer. And if ever there was a time interval between the events and their recording, that time was usually short.
