This book evaluates the prosecution of British counter-insurgency
operations during the Cyprus Revolt of 1955-1959. Historians have
typically cast the Cyprus Revolt as a failure, situating it within
the larger pattern of the post-1945 failure of conventional armies
to deal with insurgencies. By analyzing the reminiscences of
British policemen, National Servicemen, and officers both junior
and senior, the study provides a ground-up assessment of the
British counter-insurgency effort. The work examines also the
contradictions gripping Greek and Turkish Cypriot opinion, arguing
that developments during this time period set the scene for
intercommunal violence in the 1960s and 1970s. Military history is
taken in a broad sense and includes the Cypriot government's
attempts to control its image in the eyes of international opinion.
By intimately dealing with indigenous news outlets like the Times
of Cyprus and Halkin Sesi, this book offers lessons for modern
policymakers and civil servants concerned with the importance of
sound press strategy.
