Review
Cyprus Weekly: "fascinating reading"; Contemporary Review, May 2005: "It gives valuable information to students anxious to understand what went on and why negotiations failed." '...(Hannay) provides succinct and... objective accounts of the players and issues involved in the Cyprus problem.'Michael Attalides, The Cyprus Review, November 2005 'Hannay comes across as a perceptive and astute observer of the Cyprus negotiations... Hannay's account reveals plenty, also between the lines, about the inner workings of international diplomacy.' - Journal of Peace Research 'This book will interest scholars, students and politicians with an interest in Mediterranean history, EU enlargement or the future of Cyprus.' - European Sources Online 'More than a personal, detailed and informative first-hand account and well thought-out diplomatic narrative. It also provides interesting insights into contemporary complex international negotiations... a much needed and worthwhile book.'- South European Society and Politics
Product Description
The Cyprus problem has defeated all attempts to resolve it for more than forty years. From 1996 onwards the UN, with strong support from the United States, the United Kingdom and other European Union members, mounted the most sustained of all the efforts to reach an agreement, so that a reunited Cyprus could join the European Union in May 2004. Although it came closer to success than any previous attempt, this one was a failure as well. From his unique position as the former British Special Representative for Cyprus, David Hannay tells the story of these negotiations, their ups and downs and of the roles of the United Nations and the European Union. What results is an exceptional first-hand account of a complex situation.

Complete - Honest - Objective, Nov 3 2005
By A.Sofiadis - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cyprus: The Search for a Solution (Hardcover)
Well, I believe that Lord Hannay has done an excellent job. When reading books about the Cyprus problem, one is always on the verge of falling in the trap the author has set up for one. It's pretty difficult to find an author who just describes facts from a distance, without subconsciously trying to force his own ideas and point of view. Lord Hannay, though he found himself deeply involved in the problem - being the UK representative during the negotiation attempts from 1996 to 2003 - is not afraid or hesitant in admitting mistakes on all sides (be it Cuprus, Turkey or the Guarantors). With this book one can have the chance to take a good look on diplomacy tips and tricks and how the leading "players" in this issue have manipulated them.

Essential reading to understand the oncoming crisis, Dec 3 2005
By H. Erenli "tracker" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cyprus: The Search for a Solution (Hardcover)
Cyprus has been a source of conflict since the first day EOKA started its operations against the Britons. Lord Hannay correctly admits the hard situation Britons have put the Turkish Cypriot community in the past. The accounts he held are also a great resource for those of us who actually watched the talks collapse many many times. What Lord Hannay fails to achieve is to face the current deadlock. The book should have elevated on the consequences of the Greek Cypriot community to the EU without the Turkish Cypriots. Despite all these shortcomings, Lord Hannay achieves to keep a good track of events up until April 2004, from an objective point of view.
