Colonial Intrigues and My Dismissal as Director of Antiquities. A Memoir of Cyprus in the 1930s, Paperback

In 1934, John Hilton became the first Director of Antiquities in Cyprus, urgently saving ancient monuments. Despite challenges and dismissal, public outcry extended his tenure. His memoir, written 40 years later, humorously recounts his experiences and insights into 1930s colonial Cyprus.
