The Cyprus Problem: What Everyone Needs to Know(r) by James Ker-Lindsay
informative
fast-paced
3.75
A succinct, well-written and refreshingly unbiased account of a conflict that has defined my community in the eyes of international onlookers for the past 40 years. As a 'Greek Cypriot', I appreciate James Ker-Lindsay inclusion of Turkish Cypriot voices and perspectives on the conflict and subsequent reunification talks.
Although the author is not Cypriot himself, he has committed his academic career to understanding the nuances of the conflict, and yet does not carry ingrained biases of domestic academics. As a result, this books serves as a perfect introduction for anyone looking to learn about the conflict.
