{"product_id":"the-cyprus-conspiracy-brendan-omalley-9781860647376","title":"The Cyprus Conspiracy: America, Espionage and the Turkish Invasion","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brendan O'Malley, Ian Craig\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1860647375\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781860647376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Continnuum-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/25\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.14h x 6.10w x 0.88d","brand":"Brendan O'Malley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939034759423,"sku":"9781860647376","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ab4e56a0-19cb-4dad-8951-34f4c74d5f81.jpg?v=1681439112","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-cyprus-conspiracy-brendan-omalley-9781860647376","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
