The relationship between Britain and Cyprus over the course of the
past 100 years has been a constantly evolving one. Since the First
World War, Cyprus has played a key role in British defence
strategy, and, after the withdrawal from Egypt, the island became
the British Middle East headquarters. Today, Britain retains two
sovereign bases in Cyprus and the island has become a popular
holiday destination for many British tourists. Using previously
unpublished letters and personal interviews, The British and Cyprus
is told through the words of the people who served the British
Crown on Cyprus – civil and military – and includes fascinating
accounts of the dramatic fight against EOKA in the 1950s, who
pressed for an end to British rule on the island.
