Emergency Exit - Sylvia Food

A very interesting perspective of the final years of British rule in Cyprus, written by the wife of the last Governor Sir Hugh Mackintosh Foot. Lady Sylvia's account is personal and compelling, giving insight into the inner circle at Government House during the Cypriot Emergency. Vivid descriptions of the trials of carrying on family life under the immense security in very dangerous times, as well as the shocking murders by Greeks and Turks fighting for their own causes. Ending with the eventual agreement on independence as a united Republic of Cyprus. A real shame that this almost unique insight is currently out of print,
