exceptional ... It is no easy task for anyone to write about the
Cyprus emergency because it can excite passions from the various
sides involved, but French succeeds because he tells it how it is.
His account is impressive ... and logically structured. The
argument is based on a thorough analysis of the archival material,
including the recently released FCO files ... as a historian I am
thankful that he has done such a thorough job
*Dr Andrekos Varnava, Reviews in History*
[this book] will surely endure as the authoritative account of the
Cyprus 'Emergency' ... a gripping investigation of a fast-moving
but ultimately exasperating conflict. An 'investigation' for two
reasons: one is that the book's findings rest substantially on
recent releases from the FCO 'migrated archive' of security-related
colonial files; the other is that French, a scrupulous empiricist,
applies the skills of the forensic analysis, cross-referencing
accounts and weighing conflicting evidence to reach his
conclusions.
*Martin Thomas, Intelligence and National Security*
this is an authoritative and exhaustive resource for anyone who
needs to understand the Cyprus emergency in its domestic and
international aspects or is interested in issues surrounding the
control of force and reactions to excessive force and losses of
control.
*Karl Hack, British Journal for Military History*
David French has produced a very readable and lucid account which
offers an excellent analysis of the origins, course, and
consequences of the British counter-insurgency campaign on
Cyprus.
