Description
The British occupation of Cyprus began in 1878 with the arrival of the 42nd Royal Highlanders at Larnaca Bay. Today, visitors from Britain can be found soaking up the sun on the same beach. This unique bond between Britain and Cyprus has been marked by both cooperation and conflict. Tabitha Morgan's book explores the complex relationship between the two nations, tracing the reasons behind successive administrations' failure to engage with their Cypriot subjects. The author draws on largely unpublished material to examine how social segregation, confusion about Cypriot identity, and poor administrative skills contributed to the bloody conflict that led to independence in 1960. Extensively researched and written in a lyrical style, this book offers a nuanced portrait of British colonial life on Cyprus, shedding new light on a period of history that continues to shape the relationship between Britain and Cyprus today.
