Getting It Wrong is a new book on Cyprus by Martin Packard that has just been published. Martin MBE is retired lieutenant commander of the Royal Navy and former intelligence advisor to the commander-in-chief, Mediterranean Comedsoutheast. Packard provides unique and critical reportage of events in Cyprus in early 1964. Circulation of an original report by Packard, commissioned by the CRO in 1964, was embargoed by Whitehall, which also rejected a UN request for a copy. Why was the Foreign Office so sensitive over a report which did no more than describe a highly successful process of peacemaking? This book shows that Cypriots were readily able to find answers to their problems when given an appropriate mechanism through which to do so, despite extremism encouraged from abroad. Misrepresentations of 1964 history in Cyprus have been a major factor in complicating the search there for accord. Describing mediation that was successful because it was answerable to the Cypriots, rather than to any outside power, this book helps to put the record straight. " The book is a personal testimony of fundamental importance for the critical year 1964. important to both Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots it destroys respective propaganda as to what happened that year." (Costas Carras, book preview, 2008.) "Find that man Packard. He can prove that Cypriots can live together."(Lord Caradon to Friends of Cyprus, 1988.) For the next month Toplum Postasi in agreement with Martion Packard will publish extracts of his book. The book can be obtained from amazon.co.uk
