Product Description
Synopsis
In 1974 the Greek colonels ousted the Greek-Cypriot leader of Cyprus, Archbishop Makarios, and Turkey retaliated by invading and seizing a third of the island. Cyprus remains split in two, like Berlin before the wall came down, bristling with troops and spying bases, and permanently policed by the United Nations. Henry Kissinger claimed he could do nothing to stop the coup because of the Watergate crisis, but this book presents evidence to support the view that it was no failure of American foreign policy, but the realization of a long-term plot. The authors describe the strategic reasons for Washington's need to divide the island. Their account encompasses an international cast of characters that includes Eden, Eisenhower, Nixon, Kissinger, Wilson, Callaghan, Grivas, and the leaders of the two halves of the divided island, Clerides and Denktas.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gripping account of global power politics, 19 May 2002
I remember the Turkish paratroops invading and know a bit about Cyprus, and visitied. If you're like me, you'll find this book a gripping read. The events leading up to the 1974 invasion are told with absolute clarity and brevity.The revelations are fascinating and plausible. Perhaps the book leans towards the Turkish position but it accounts for all sides of the story.It does not over-speculate but keeps to the facts, many relating to the invasion are newly uncovered. Still very relevant and a fascinating insight into global politices

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent in depth and objective research., 14 May 2002
By A Customer
Cyprus, a beautiful small island has always been the victim of its strategic geographical location on the international political scene, while this works to its advantage on the economic side. If ever the two factors ever find their equilibrium the people of the island irrespective of national, cultural, religious and other differences will prosper.
The detailed analysis of events and plots are ecellent. At the end of the day one realizes that it is the prevailing peripheral circumstances and interests that really dictate the fortunes of the core.
It is a great piece of work. I thought I knew a few things about the Cyprus problem until a read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super Power Politics and Little Cyprus, 9 Jan 2006
By A Customer
Superbly researched and unbiased account of the Island of Cyprus and the surrounding region during the second half of the twentieth Century! It gives the reader a true insight into the the intrigues of Super Power politics and how their prevailing politico-economic interest can effect the lives of the people of a small nation.
It clearly demonstrates that if a small nation has a strategic and/or economic value disproportionate to its size it can never achieve true self determination and always remains suportinate to the wishes and interests of the Powerful.
