"The first in-depth reconstruction of the struggle based on fully
original documentation. It is, indeed, a welcome and important
book."
--"American Historical Review"
One of the longest-standing and most intractable problems in
contemporary international politics, the Cyprus question continues
to plague the international community. Isle of Discord sketches the
post-war origins of the Cyprus problem from the first drive toward
internationalization to the outbreak of armed struggle against the
British colonial regime-to show how the potential for a peaceful
resolution of the conflict was repeatedly and fatefully
squandered.
Strategically located at the hub of three continents, the island
of Cyprus has been a bone of contention between Greek and Turkish
nationalists-and consequently between U.S., British, and U. N.
policymakers. Detailing the central role of the nationalist Enosis
movement, of the U.N., and of insidious factionalism in the area,
Stefanidis brings new insight to this undertreated period of
Cypriot history through U.S., British, and Greek records not before
used.
A timely profile of this legacy of modern diplomatic history,
Isle of Discord identifies the various forces, competing interests,
and partisan pressures that helped shape the Cyprus problem.
