Since World War I, Cyprus has played a crucial role in British
defence strategy. Panagiotis Dimitrakis here introduces new
research which reveals the true role of British intelligence on the
island throughout the twentieth century, particularly during World
War II, the 1955-59 Archbishop Makarios and EOKA-led revolt and the
1974 Turkish invasion. He sheds fresh light on the stance of both
Prime Minister Harold Wilson and Foreign Secretary James Callaghan
towards Greece and Turkey in the turbulent 1970s, and provides
important new perspectives on the 1978 Egyptian hostage crisis at
Larnaca Airport and the research is based throughout on primary
sources including previously unpublished declassified papers from
British diplomats and intelligence officers. This is a valuable
study for scholars of contemporary strategy and military history
and for those interested in military intelligence and the history
of Cyprus.
