[Translation of: Oi symmorites. Nicosia, Cyprus : Roptro, 1982. ]Translated from the Greek with an introduction and notes by Stathis Gauntlett "At a time when the reunification of Cyprus and Cypriots is thought to be achievable, Lefkios Zafiriou's highly acclaimed and controversial work of autobiographical fiction "The Gangsters" is more relevant than ever. Set in the now almost mythical times when ordinary Greek and Turkish Cypriots shared the privations of life in a neglected British colony, the novella engages robustly with issues of great sensitivity to all Cypriots, right from its title through to the last words on the final page. The original Greek version was awarded a state prize for fiction and hailed as something new in Cypriot literature; this extensively annotated translation can serve as a starting point for an understanding of the uniquely tortured story of modern Cyprus." 92 pp. (incl. map and timeline) [ 9 copies found in Worldcat] Book

Short illustrated account of some of the art of ancient Cyprus. 84p. illus [some col] map Book
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. 268p.plates. index.

268 pages including index. Claims Kissinger was disingenuous when he claimed America could not prevent Turkey from seizing a third of Cyprus in 1974. Provides crucial evidence that this action was, in fact, the realization of a longstanding plan.

Makes a crucial contribution to our understanding of great power politics and the strategic importance of intelligence gathering and the role these played in triggering one of the world's most intractable international conflicts. Includes black and white photographs and a 1999 personal interview conducted with Kissinger for this book. Appears unread. Book clean and unmarked with no wear.
