A fascinating collection of British foreign policy documents
covering reactions in Whitehall to political change and revolution
in the Mediterranean basin from 1973 to 1976. This volume contains
many previously unpublished documents, including Joint Intelligence
Committee papers, which cast new light on key events, such as the
international crisis triggered by the coup against Archbishop
Makarios in Cyprus, Turkey's military intervention in the island,
the overthrow of the Caetano regime in Portugal, and the death of
Franco in Spain. During 1973-76, years generally associated with
East/West detente in Europe, NATO's southern flank was plunged into
crisis by a revolution in Portugal and a coup d'etat in Cyprus.
Political turmoil in Portugal, Turkey's military intervention in
Cyprus, the collapse of the military government in Greece, and the
threat of a Greco-Turkish War, all emphasized the vulnerability of
the alliance to regime change in the Mediterranean. The Western
allies had also to prepare for the death of two ageing dictators in
Spain and Yugoslavia, and the possible entry of Communists into
government in France and Italy. This volume draws upon the records
of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the Cabinet Office and the
Ministry of Defence, to document the reactions of Harold Wilson's
Labour government to these developments. This book will be of great
interest to all students of contemporary British history,
international history, European history, international relations,
politics and diplomacy.
