In The Unrepentant Vassos Georghiou recounts the sufferings of Greek men and women of all walks of life and political persuasions who were deported in 1964 to a desert island following a coup d'état engineered by the CIA that installed a repressive military junta. The prisoners responded variously to the psychological and physical pressures; some yielded and signed loyalty oaths; most, however, like Georghiou, resisted courageously, armed with a sense of their personal dignity and loyal to the ideals of their years of struggle against repression and foreign invasions and interventions. Until the collapse of socialist regimes in Eastern Europe and despite his disillusionment with the domestic and international leadership of the Communist movement and his expulsion from the Communist Party, Vassos Georghiou retained his faith in the Soviet Union as the model for the world of the future. In this book Arthur D. Kahn repeatedly expresses disagreement with Georghiou's views, and discussions between them add a further level of interest.
