acro29At the Great War raged in Europe, Athens, the city of the Acropolis, turned into a place of violence and political intrigue where nothing was or could be kept secret. This book reveals the activities of British, German, and French spymasters in 1914-1918.

King Constantine demanded Greece remain neutral, to the strategic advantage of Kaiser Wilhelm II, whose sister, Sofia, he had married.
