Description
This historical account delves into the British colonial response to the EOKA liberation struggle in Cyprus from 1955 to 1959. As the majority of the island's Greek Cypriot population sought freedom from British rule, the colonial authorities unleashed a brutal campaign to crush the armed uprising. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources—including declassified British government documents, memoirs of EOKA leaders, accounts of key members, and harrowing testimonies from those who endured torture and abuse—this book uncovers the shocking tactics used to suppress the movement.
Through a blend of personal narratives and historical analysis, the author reveals the dark reality of colonial repression and its long-lasting impact on those involved. This powerful narrative not only illuminates a critical chapter in Cyprus' fight for freedom but also serves as a stark reminder of the lengths colonial powers would go to in order to maintain control.
