The book provides valuable insights into the workings of this organization, making it an essential read for those fascinated by military history and paramilitary structures.
Human Rights and International Scrutiny:
The book critically examines the human rights aspects of the liberation struggle, shedding light on oppressive and inhumane methods faced by the Cypriot people.
