Intimate access to party activists and leaders reveals how the anti-austerity party won over Greece in 22 days. Less than a month until the snap-election, the far left anti-establishment party that recorded just 4% of the Greek vote a decade before began its latest campaign for power. Led by the young and charismatic Alexis Tsispras, Syriza had to allay the climate of fear and financial uncertainty that had formed around their party in an attempt to beat Greece's two major parties. "The game is over" says Tsispras to an emotional crowd at his final rally. "Greece is standing on it's own two feet again, with pride, with certainty, with dignity" he says, to roars of appreciation. This is the backstage story to Greece's momentous sea-change, one that saw a dejected electorate unite and turn their backs on the established order in search of a new hope.
