Description

Original 1972 Nicosia edition of Χρονικόν Αγώνος ΕΟΚΑ 1955–1959, the detailed historical and military account written by General Georgios Grivas, leader of EOKA during the armed campaign against British colonial rule in Cyprus (1955–1959).

This particular copy is especially desirable as it is:

• Double signed by Georgios Grivas
• Includes one handwritten personal dedication by the author

Signed copies are scarce; double-signed examples with a personal inscription are significantly more uncommon and highly sought after by collectors of Cypriot and modern Greek history.

Historical Context – British Rule in Cyprus

During the period covered in this book, Cyprus was under British colonial administration (Crown Colony status from 1925 until independence in 1960).

Ethniki Organosis Kyprion Agoniston (EOKA) launched its armed struggle in 1955 aiming to end British rule and pursue Enosis (union with Greece).

This volume provides:

• First-hand operational accounts
• Strategic and military analysis
• Political commentary
• Insight into one of the most significant anti-colonial movements in the Eastern Mediterranean

As a primary-source memoir by the movement’s leader, it remains one of the central works on the Cyprus liberation struggle.
