Genocide is not term to be bandied about lightly, but when a regime plots to exterminate an ethnic group, its hard to describe it any other way. Those that believe the Cyprus problem began with the intervention of the Turkish Armed Forces on July 20th 1974, may want to take a second look. The inter-ethnic killings and discrimination leading up to that intervention, and then the Greek Cypriot majority government’s attempts to cover up these deeds, go back as far as 1955 with the start of the violence against the British Troops and police stationed in what was then a British Crown Colony.

The siege of Erenky (Kokkina) as described in this book is only a tiny part of the greater conflict of the time and yet it is surprising that, even today, a normally balanced Wikipeia fails to mention the presence and active participation of mainland Greek Army units in the shelling and bombardment of poorly equipped Turkish Cypriot Villages.

Toothless United Nations, tells the story from a serving U.N. officers frontline standpoint. An officer confronted with the dichotomy of saving lives and preserving peace, at the risk of defying orders.

This is a true story, a story of bravery and commitment, a story of deceit and betrayal and finally about the love for a new born country that has been maligned for decades and unjustly embargoed.
