I think id like to read a bit more on Cyprus History and also the 1974 invasion
does anyone recommend any english books on the topic??

[Greek goddess]

this is the best book of the lot 1------The Cyprus Conspiracy: America, Espionage and the Turkish Invasion
Brendan O'Malley, Ian Craig this one is easy to read
2------Hostage to History: Cyprus from the Ottomans to Kissinger
Christopher Hitchens

Those are about recent history. We have 9000 years of history here. For which parts you are interested?

usually anastasiac, places like ours dont history, but histories...
as a concequence, in order to come closer to understanding what happened, you should imo, read a book from both perspectives.
it is not that these books usually lie...its just the usually forget half of the story

hope thats not to much work
