This book is evidently written by someone who identifies with 200,000 ethnically cleansed indigenous Cypriots ( i.e. The Greeks )and the 6,000 victims of Turkey's War aginst "little" Cyprus in 1974. The book casts new light on Turkish Government education and the policies and ideas apparently fuelling Turkish Nationalism and it's consequences for Christian minority peoples especially.. Cyprus was a Cold -War "prize" offered to Turkey by the United States to ensure it's continued support against the Soviet Union..And to simultaneously appease the always rampant Turkish nationalism that pervades Turkish culture and politics. This book leads one to conclude that if the major Orthodox Powers bridge the gap militarily with Turkey then military force will ultimately settle the Cyprus,Kurdish and Armenian Questions; given the much reduced strategic value of Turkey to the West , despite the Caspian Oil Fields. It is sad that small countries are often mere pawns of big power "ego" games which try all-to-often to sooth the fanatical and often murderous nationalisms of their people....inorder to gain political favor with them....
