Description
CYPRUS: The Country and
its People presents an absorb-
ing study of an island steeped
in tradition and antiquity.
Uniquely situated on the door-
step of Asia, Cyprus has been
the natural target for traders,
settlers, invaders, colonists and
strategists for more than 3,000
years. Its chequered history,
culminating in the recent
achievement of independence
and subsequent efforts towards
peaceful self-development, pro-
vides the background for a
detailed account of its modern
social, economic and political
life.
