<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>World War II marked a pivotal point in the history of Cyprus, yet surprisingly, this period of the island's history has been little studied to date. Anastasia Yiangou here provides the first major study of the impact of World War II on the political development of Cyprus. In doing so she traces shifting Cypriot attitudes to the war and the formation of a triangular conflict in the island between the Left, Right and British colonial power. She explains how the British and Cypriots fought a war alongside each other, yet remained far apart in discussions on the future of the island. Yiangou's original and compelling analysis highlights how the post-1945 landscape of Cypriot political struggles was shaped by forces set in motion during the war itself.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>""As the first major account of politics on the island during the Second World War, this book represents a tremendously important contribution to the modern history of Cyprus. Deftly weaving together a number of different narrative threads, Anastasia Yiangou presents a comprehensive and expertly argued account of how Cyprus's wartime experiences formed the basis of the contemporary political situation on the island."" - James Ker-Lindsay, Eurobank EFG Senior Research Fellow on the Politics of South East Europe, London School of Economics and Political Science <p/>""This book will surely take its place as a seminal contribution to our understanding of the trajectory of Cyprus's tangled politics in the twentieth century."" - Robert Holland, Emeritus Professor of Imperial and Commonwealth History, Institute of Commonwealth Studies, University of London <br><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Anastasia Yiangou received a PhD from the Institute of Commonwealth Studies, University of London in 2009.
