The British Empire in Cyprus 1878-1960 [Episode 132]

Don't be shy, send me a message!

For 82 years, the Mediterranean island of Cyprus was a British colony. Here, I really focus on that era. Although I did two previous episodes on Cyprus, they are not ‘sequential’ and can be listened to in any order – reverse order can work as well as the release order.

I draw on three key books:

• The Turks in Cyprus: A Province of the Ottoman Empire – by Ahmet C Gazioğlu
• Cyprus Under British Rule – by CWJ Orr (Army Captain)
• The Death of Friendship: A Cyprus Memoir – by Türkan Aziz (MBE)

I hope you enjoy this episode, drawing on my 7 years on the island, and my personal collection of rare books on the island.
