The three authors, in 42 dense essays, highlight and comment on myths and false dilemmas of modern Greek diplomacy: Internationalism and patriotism. The discourse on "ultrapatriotism". External threats against Greece and our strategy. Greece's role in the Balkans and its position in Europe. The Cyprus issue, the Macedonian issue, and the "Albanian issue". The destructive appeasement mentality that led us to the "Madrid Agreement". This is a strict critique of the conventional wisdom of our foreign policy as well as the mentalities and approaches that give birth to the "snake's egg", intellectual tyranny, and the "one truth".
