Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a sweltering day in July 1878, the men of the 42nd Royal Highlanders - the Black Watch - waded ashore at Larnaca Bay to begin the British occupation of Cyprus. Today, Britons on sunbeds colonise the same stretch of sand, the latest visitors to an island which has long held a special place in the English imagination - and a controversial role in British imperial ambitions. From Britain's acquisition of the island in 1878 up to independence in 1960, a true understanding of the complexity of Cypriot society and its aspirations eluded most British administrators. In the late 19th century, the British worked furiously to outmanoeuvre a restless Russian Empire bent on southward expansion. In this 'Great Game' of superpowers, few episodes were bolder than the British acquisition of Cyprus through a secret treaty with the Ottoman Empire. Initially considered strategically vital for the defence of India, the island soon lost its importance as a military staging post, when Britain occupied Egypt. Nevertheless, Cyprus became a major centre of Allied espionage and counter-espionage in both World Wars - a role that up to now has never been fully revealed. But despite the island's importance, British rule on Cyprus was often somewhat lackadaisical: low salaries resulted in a colourful staff of hard drinking colonial rejects and scholarly classicists of independent means. Disastrous governance combined with a misunderstanding by the British of the growing desire for enosis, the union of Cyprus with Greece, contributed to increasing Cypriot disillusionment with British rule. Drawing on largely unpublished material, Morgan reflects on why successive administrations failed so catastrophically to engage with their Cypriot subjects, and how social segregation, confusion about Cypriot identity and the poor calibre of so many administrators all contributed to the bloody guerilla conflict that led, finally, to Cypriot independence. Sweet and Bitter Island explores for the first time the unique bond between Britain and Cyprus and the complex, sometimes tense, relationship between the two nations which endures to the present day. Extensively researched and lyrically written, this is the definitive portrait of British colonial life on the Mediterranean island.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cyprus Under British Rule Through all the heat Of the early summer months, the farmers are threshing their corn on the open threshing floors outside the villages, winnowing it in the evening breeze, and, when the Government tithe has been measured and removed, taking the remainder on donkeys or in carts to their own houses and the merchants' stores. In autumn comes the gathering of the carob bean and the Olive, and in the foothills the terraced vineyards are heavy with Clustering grapes. By mid-october, the sweltering heat of the past few months in the plains has begun to abate and the nights are cool once more, but the parched soil and scorched vegeta tion await the coming of the winter rains. Soon clouds begin to bank up, only to disappear in tantalizing fashion again and again just at the moment when they seem to be on the point of bursting and drenching the thirsty earth with longed-for rain. But at last it comes; at first running Off the baked earth in a thousand tiny rivulets till the crust is softened and the soil sucks up the moisture, and little blades of grass begin to peep out and change the face of the bare and colourless plain. Soon the fields are dotted with the figures of peasants in their loose black breeches and coloured shirts, walking behind primitive wooden ploughs drawn by a pair of somewhat attenuated oxen, or perhaps an ox and an ass yoked together. And so throughout the winter months Of December and January, amidst alternations Of refreshing rain and grey skies, and bright sunshine and blue skies, the work of ploughing and preparing the fields and Of sowing for the next harvest goes on incessantly until spring comes again with its wealth of fresh green and brilliant colour, and Nature renews herself once more.
