This book is the first full-length bibliography of Anthony Eden,
who was British Foreign Secretary in the 1930s and negotiated with
dictators Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin. He resigned in 1938,
gaining a worldwide reputation as an opponent of appeasement, and
later played a key role in the British wartime Cabinet under
Churchill and as Foreign Secretary in the Conservative government
of 1951-1955. His brief period as Prime Minister, 1955-1957, ended
soon after his controversial handling of the Suez Crisis in 1956.
This comprehensive bibliography cites a wide range of sources,
including contemporary periodicals, and is carefully annotated.
This work brings attention to conflicting interpretations of events
and differing assessments of Eden. Important aspects of Eden's
career are covered including the precise reasons for his
resignation in 1938, his relationship with Churchill, his
disagreements with both Roosevelt and Dulles, and his chairmanship
of the 1954 Geneva Conference on Indochina. The volume includes a
separate section on the Suez Crisis, including the diverse views of
all the participants and comments on Eden's role. In addition, the
work provides a detailed chronology and an informative summary
biography.
