It is an issue which for quite a few decades was ignored voluntarily or involuntarily by Greek historiography. The filling in of this gap in historiography and the need for an approach as objective and sober as possible to this theme is what the present work aspires to do. The conditions by which the Albanian Chams were incorporated into the Greek state in 1923 their living conditions the problems that emerged during the inter-war period and of course the dramatic escalation of the issue which took place simultaneous to the Greco-Italian War and the Nazi occupation of Greece occupy the central part of the work. The book comprises also a final chapter that refers to contemporary developments and must be seen as serving a purely informative role. That which is desired here is that the reader be enabled to merely complete the picture which he had formed on a theme which although has theoretically expired with the termination of the war in fact has come once again to the forefront emerging from the lethargy of more than half a century due of course to the wider rearrangements and reversals which had taken place in the meantime in the Balkan peninsula.</i></p> IMXA paperback
