The book describes in detail what went on behind the scenes during this process and contains many official documents published for the first time, thus providing all those with an interest in Cyprus, be they researchers, diplomats, journalists or laymen with the invaluable insights of a Cypriot statesman, now 89 years old, who has been deeply involved in the island’s recent history from the early-1950s to date. For all those interested in negotiating strategy the book provides a manual of how the negotiating process works in practice, in a situation such as that of Cyprus, where a conflict between two ethnic groups is impacted upon by the two “motherlands” and the international community.
