A Short History of Cyprus

The geographical position of Cyprus in the Eastern Mediterranean has made it necessary for many nations with varying cultures to occupy the Island either for strategic or economic reasons.

In this book Philip Newman, who lived on the Island for many years, gives a clear and concise history of Cyprus to help the reader to appreciate and understand more fully the general background of the history of Cyprus and Cypriot affairs.

It is therefore admirably suited both for the ordinary student and the citizen who wants to know the early history of the Island up to the present times.
