It was, however, a disaster for thousands of ordinary Cypriots, both Greek and Turk. This account of those times is exceptional because it is written by an artist who is both a detached outside observer and a passionate insider who cares very much for the well-being of all Cypriots. This book does not focus on the politics of a now-divided island or apportion blame for its current state or dwell relentlessly on the suffering of its refugees. Rather it tells the stories of a few ordinary people caught up in the catastrophic events of that summer, of how they lost their homes but not their dignity and how they started to rebuild their lives with determination and courage. As such it has a universal relevance going far beyond the people of Cyprus. This short book, enriched with more than forty contemporary photographs, is a compulsive read and almost impossible to put down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeter Moore was born in Norfolk, England in 1944. He left an undistinguished school career at the earliest opportunity to work in commerce. Returning to education ten years later he fulfilled his dream of qualifying as a teacher of art and spent the remainder of his working life, at home and abroad, as an educator and practicing artist gaining an MA in the process. Since retirement he has divided his time equally between his artwork and writing. The current book is based on the adventures experienced by himself and his family during the Cyprus conflict of 1974 and its aftermath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.27 x 7.99 x 5.24 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 29, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47618062942461,"sku":"9781482687651","price":23.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/ZHUxRWZhUU9ySFdHQk5VSkxRcUxDdz09.webp?v=1780221256","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/days-we-have-seen-a-personal-account-of-an-englishman-and-his-familys-experiences-in-war-torn-cyprus-during-1974-and-1975-paperback","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
