“Talking with the Heroes of 1821” follows the Revolution from its first steps, recounting with respect the problems encountered, the great victories a well as the defeats, the disappointments and the willpower of its leaders and of the people, the divisions, the reactions of foreign powers, and the wondrous inner strength of those who dared to stand up against the Ottoman Empire.
