British Culture: Albion Never Dies 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.
