Evagora's Fate
Cyprus
The turbulent History of Paradise

Cyprus remains one of those tragic casualties of the cold war where American foreign policy has woefully failed, leaving the island divided, and Greece and Turkey entangled in a perpetual arms race.
Through Evagora's life we revisit the events that shaped twentieth century Cypriot history and influenced the political situation of the Middle-East.
In this highly readable and personal account that combines the intimate cultural grasp of one raised in the island with the incisive historical and political insight of an astute student of international affairs, Dr. Chris Derk makes an important contribution to our understanding of the so-called intractable Cyprus problem and thereby contributes to its eventual solution.
Evagora's Fate presents to us the human dimensions and the intimately personal consequences of international intrigue and unwise political choices made from the end of World War IIto the early 1970s by the British, the Turks, the Americans, and the American-supported anti-democratic regime in Greece, which led to the Turkish invasion and still persisting illegal occupation and de facto division of Cyprus.

Dr. Chris Derk was born in the United States and raised in Cyprus. He is currently a Fellow in Rheumatology at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, in Philadelphia, PA.
