Summary:

For nearly 60 years-from its uprising against British rule in the 1950's, to the bloody civil war between Greek and Turkish Cypriots in the 1960's, the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in the 1970's, and the United Nation's ongoing 30-year effort to reunite the island-the tiny Mediterranean nation of Cyprus has taken a disproportionate share of the international spotlight. And while it has been often in the news, accurate and impartial information on the conflict has been nearly impossible to obtain. In 'The Cyprus Problem', James Ker-Lindsay offers an incisive, even-handed account of the conflict.
