Descriptionof Towards Disaster
Manufacturer

During the Greco-Turkish War from 1919 to 1922, Prince Andrew of Greece was given command of the 2nd Army Corps during the Battle of Sakarya. He was ordered to lead his troops in an attack on the Turkish positions, but to the dismay of his commander-in-chief, Anastasios Papoulas, he decided to follow his own battle plan. After three weeks of bitter fighting, Papoulas ordered a retreat and blamed Prince Andrew for the defeat. The final defeat of the Greek army in Asia Minor came in August 1922 and led to the revolution of 11 September 1922 in Athens, which banished Prince Andrew from his homeland for life. Towards Disaster is Prince Andrew's own account of the campaign in Asia Minor, in which he defends his actions during the Battle of Sakarya, a battle he considered hopeless and in which he was careful to avoid unnecessary loss of life.
