About this product
Product Information
In a compelling study of great-power misconduct, Christopher Hitchens examines the events leading up to the partition of Cyprus and its legacy. He argues that the intervention of four major foreign powers, Turkey, Greece, Britain and the United States, turned a local dispute into a major disaster. In a new preface for this 1997 edition, Hitchens reviews the implications of the Republic of Cyprus.s applications for European union membership, the escalating regional arms race between Greece and Turkey, and last year.s Greek Cypriot protests along the partition border.

"Hitchens's book deserves wholehearted praise. His research has been thorough, his style is invigorating and he has written a compelling account of a tragic episode from first to last."- Times Literary Supplement "In his extensive, well-documented and even-handed book, Hitchens attempts, with remarkable success, to restore the recent history of Cyprus to its proper perspective."- Christian Science Monitor

The condition of the book was even better than the picture indicated. With minimal effort, I was able to remove the library stickers, lightly sand off the library stamps, and now it practically looks as if I bought it brand new. Seller was also kind enough to acquiesce to my request of having the book sent in a padded box rather than a bubble mailer. Stellar seller, stellar purchase.
