"A bombshell. An original and definitive account based entirely on primary sources. The word on Cyprus 1974 for many years to come."
Alan Cafruny, Henry Bristol Professor of International Affairs, Hamilton College, USA.
"Fouskas and Mallinson's analysis of the 1974 invasion of Cyprus is brilliantly clear, original and insightful, drawing on an impressive range of primary sources, some never researched before. This is a scholarly but accessible book, probably one of the most important accounts to be written on this critical episode, not only in the modern history of Cyprus but also of Greece and Turkey."
Bülent Gökay, Professor of International Relations, Keele University, UK.
"Finally, on Cyprus, conventional wisdom is out and documented research is in: congratulations to Fouskas and Mallinson."
Marios Evriviades, Professor of International Relations and Security, Neapolis University, Paphos, Republic of Cyprus.
"This book uncovers the geopolitical machinations of the USA, Greece, Britain and Turkey at the expense of the Cypriot communities in a non-biased and scholarly manner. A clear, documented departure from the official governmental ideologies of Turkey, Greece, Britain and the USA."
Tunc Aybak, Professor of International Relations, Middlesex University, UK.
