August 4th, 2011 - The Metaxas Project is a non-political, unbiased, historical website whose focus is the 4th of August regime – the Greek variant of the interwar period fascist movements. As such, we could not ignore the fact that these days it’s the 75th anniversary of the establishment of the Metaxas dictatorship. To commemorate this august anniversary, our publishing house Pelekys.com has just released a long-awaited book: La Grecia Fascista (1936-1941) (currently available in Spanish language only). This book, which has been 5 years in the making, is the first-ever book in Spanish language to provide an indepth account of the Metaxas dictatorship. Featuring hundreds of pictures, some of them very rare, this 328-pages monumental book is vividly illustrated and emerges as a must-have book for anyone interested in the obscure Metaxas years. You can find out more about it (with real-life photos) or you can also buy it online right away. You can also pre-order the forthcoming English-translated edition, and so when the book is available for purchase we’ll drop you an email notification.
