Yet, as Pauline Green and Ray Collins reveals here, behind the rhetoric of the politicians there is a growing view among Greek and Turkish Cypriots that the solution to Cyprus' problems lies within the gift of Europe. And yet the problems remain knotty – not least because of the highly sensitive and little-discussed role of the British military bases on the island, whose security and intelligence-gathering functions are so crucial to UK and US interests in the region. The author's analysis should interest those concerned not only with the future of Cyprus, Turkey and the Eastern Mediterranean, but also with the fate of the European Union itself. Given the EU's position on Cyprus and the sensitivities surrounding Turkey's entry into the European club, this is clearly a book of major importance and topicality. <b>Reviews</b><b> <i> …a highly readable book…that challenges the half-truths that so many of us have held dear.</i> — Vassilis Fouskas, The Cyprus Review <i> …clearly a book of major importance and topicality! </i>– Eleftheria</b></body></html></HTML>
