In 1974 the Greek colonels ousted the Greek-Cypriot leader of
Cyprus, Archbishop Makarios, and Turkey retaliated by invading and
seizing a third of the island. Cyprus remains split in two, like
Berlin before the wall came down, bristling with troops and spying
bases, and permanently policed by the United Nations. Henry
Kissinger claimed he could do nothing to stop the coup because of
the Watergate crisis, but this book presents evidence to support
the view that it was no failure of American foreign policy, but the
realization of a long-term plot. The authors describe the strategic
reasons for Washington's need to divide the island. Their account
encompasses an international cast of characters that includes Eden,
Eisenhower, Nixon, Kissinger, Wilson, Callaghan, Grivas, and the
leaders of the two halves of the divided island, Clerides and
Denktas.
