It has been argued that the partition of Cyprus really occurred in 1974. As the book shows, the crucial changes had started at the end of 1963 with Britain's indirect support. As the issue became internationalized, with the UN and US becoming involved, British foreign policy makers found themselves in a difficult position regarding their relationship with Turkey and the future of their bases in Cyprus. This dilemma was the engine of much of the policy making in the 1959-1965 period."--BOOK JACKET.
