Andrew Novo. *The EOKA Cause: Nationalism and the Failure of Cypriot Enosis*. London: Bloomsbury Publishing, 2020.

This book explores the origins, actions, and failures of Greek Cypriot nationalists in their pursuit to unify Cyprus with Greece. Andrew Novo investigates the anti-colonial struggle through the lens of: the competition for the nationalist narrative in Cyprus between the Left and Right, the conflicting Greek-Cypriot and Turkish-Cypriot nationalisms on the island, the roles of Turkey and Greece in the island's strife, and the British Empire's concerns during its post-World War II decline.Beyond being merely a historical account of the period, an examination of British policies, or a depiction of counter-insurgency strategies, this book offers a comprehensive analysis of the enosis movement's foundations and its practical implications. It argues that the strategic myopia of the enosis movement limited its cause, influenced its actions, and was a primary reason for its failure. Today, Cyprus remains split and occupied, facing the lingering challenges of its history.
