Description
Cyprus A Modern History by William Mallinson provides a fast-moving and incisive narrative history of the island nation. The book portrays Cyprus as a continuing source of international tension in the Mediterranean, with its complex history shaped by rivalries between Greece and Turkey. Mallinson's critical eye uncovers the underlying story of American and British involvement in the island's affairs, from its role as a key territory in Cold War politics to its current status as a strategic asset in the 'war on terror'. The book features the latest source material from the National Archive, including vivid interviews with key players and reports that raise awkward questions. This narrative history sheds light on the ongoing challenges facing Cyprus, including its divided population and the country's precarious position between major world powers.
