Full Description
In 1955, the Greek Cypriot organisation EOKA started an anti-colonial struggle against the British aiming at the unification of the island with Greece. This book sheds new light on the historical period of the struggle through the examination of various external and internal aspects of the conflict. It explores the role of international actors like the USA, the USSR, Germany, Turkey, Greece and the United Kingdom and grapples with the complex domestic dynamics from a variety of perspectives.
The EOKA Period in Cyprus analyses the role of armed organisations on both sides of the conflict, as well as their respective responses to the developments. By looking at processes such as radicalisation, passive resistance, collective punishment, intercommunal division and disarmament, the volume effectively considers the political, social and military nuances of the struggle, offering new insights from a multidisciplinary perspective in the process.
