Nicolas Gage was born in the mountain village of Lia, northern Greece, close to the border with Albania, in 1938, shortly before the onset of WWII and in Greece, the following Civil War, which was to prove far more destructive to that Nation, tearing both Greece and Greeks apart for it's endurance.
It was to divide his family and, in the end, result in the torture and death of his mother, Eleni Gatzoyiannis at the hands of ELAS Guerillas for the 'crime' of helping her children escape.
This is his true story of a son seeking to avenge his mothers murder. It is real. It is compelling. It is harrowing in the extreme. It reveals the Greek psych as nothing I have ever read. But, unless you have no feelings, it could haunt you forever......
