This is the first in-depth reconstruction of a major British decolonization based fully on original documentation. Charting the `inner history'' of a violent colonial Emergency, it provides a case-study of the dilemmas posed by the challenge of terrorism overseas after 1945. Robert Holland analyses the evolution of a political settlement which, almost uniquely in the British `end of empire'', slid beyond the United Kingdom''s control. He considers the effects of the revolt on the politics of the surrounding region, particularly in relation to the emerging ethnicstruggle between Greeks and Turks. His work offers a fresh perspective on Mediterranean and Middle Eastern developments, including the involvement of NATO and the United States, in the age of the Suez Crisis and its aftermath. This account is essential reading for anybody interested in the liquidation of the British Empire, the breakdown of ethnic co-existence under intense pressure, and the effects of regional destabilization on the wider international system.
