A history of Cyprus - Stavros Panteli

For over three thousand years the history of Cyprus has largely been a story of foreign invasion and occupation. In this newly revised edition of a much-praised work, the author brilliantly chronicles the turmoil of Cyprus past and explores the troubled prospects for the islands future. A particular focus of the book is the period beginning with the British Occupation in 1878 through to current events. Drawing on many unpublished documents and letters, the text provides an incisive political and economic history of the modern period.
