United States Policy towards Cyprus, 1954–1974: Removing the Greek-Turkish Bone of Contention. By Claude Nicolet. (Mannheim: Bibliopolis, 2001. 483 pp. € 42.90, ISBN 3-933925-20-7.)

This careful, detailed analysis of U.S. policy toward Cyprus begins in 1954, when Great Britain evacuated Suez and, turning to Cyprus, continued to grapple with the disparity between its strategic aspirations and the emergence of a postcolonial world. It ends in 1974, when a coup in Cyprus instigated by the ruling junta in Greece led to a Turkish invasion of the island and, ultimately, its partition. The book's analytical focus is on the evolving policies of a U.S. government initially reluctant to assume responsibility for the complex Cyprus problem and on the almost endless, mostly pragmatic, and sometimes inept initiatives subsequently undertaken to remove it as a bone of contention between its two NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) allies in the eastern Mediterranean.
