"first-hand account from the British rep in the Annan Plan talks, who offered half the British bases territory. Very detailed on the process, but ends before the referendum, when Hannay left."
"Greek-Cypriot side's demolition of Annan Plan (and Hannay). Prepared to make some admissions, but very narrow perspective and makes personal attacks even on UN staff."
"Attempt at post-mortem on Annan Plan with proposals for changes to revive it - but mainly aimed at Greek-Cypriot side, where Annan is currently taboo politically"
"First in a long line of British colonial administrators' memoirs. Fascinating diary of the first governor's arrival - military man who hated foreigners."
"British literary figure becomes press adviser to colonial government in 1950's (sees EOKA coming) - philhellenic but disappointed in modern Greeks and patronisingly colonial"
"Colonial administrator's history of the island - published 1957 then updated 1964 after breakdown of independence constitution. Sympathetic to Turks."
"Not directly about Cyprus but fascinating account of the previous (1920's) Greek-Turkish population exchange (and Great Powers' roles) that Cyprus missed by being in British hands at the time."
"Cyprus is not this book's main focus, but does feature (including cover photo) as first human rights case (Greece v UK) and illustrating links between human rights and (dying) colonialism"
"Specifically leaves out Cyprus as an unresolved conflict, but useful insight into how other ethnic cleansings have been reversed - 2 contributors were on Annan UN team."
