Cyprus : a modern history

Mallinson, William. (Author).

Summary: "Cyprus, A Modern History provides a comprehensive and up-to-the minute account of the island's history. Featuring the latest source material and vivid interviews with key players, the book covers topics ranging from the British acquisition, the independence, joining the EU and the latest moves towards reunification. William Mallinson turns a critical eye to British and American involvement in the island's affairs, with its proximity to the Middle East and Asia, both as a key territory in Cold War politics and the more recent 'war on terrorism'. He also gives vital new examination to the period leading up to and following the Turkish invasion of 1974 - a period that saw Greece and Turkey, both NATO members, on the brink of open war."--Jacket.
