With the eyes of the world on him, Varoufakis begins his battle with the Troika to free Greece from debt bondage. He must face down the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund. We follow the twists and turns, the betrayals and regrets, of this epic drama as Varoufakis resists the bail-out deal being imposed by the Troika, and battles to find a way out for Greece. In this Kafkaesque world of intrigue and deceit, we hear Varoufakis’ first- hand accounts of private meetings with the head of the IMF and Germany’s own finance minister, both of whom surprise the fledgling politician. Woven throughout the narrative is hitherto unseen footage of Varoufakis from a personal video diary of life during these turbulent months of negotiation.
