Controversy still surrounds the Anglo-French invasion of Egypt in 1956 and the role of senior British politicians such as the Prime Minister, Anthony Eden. This volume traces the history of Anglo-Egyptian relations since the opening of the canal, and Britain's wider interests in the region. The crisis itself, from its development to the invasion and the aftermath, is fully explored. The wider implications of the episode, both for Britain and on a global scale, are considered in detail. A wide range of documentary evidence is carefully woven into textual analysis. Included are: key UK and US government sources; photographs, cartoons; diary entries; interviews, and extracts from newspapers. The significance of individual sources - and their usefulness for historians - is highlighted.
This review of the Suez Crisis gives a chapter each to such key players as General Sir Gerald Templar, the Chief of the Imperial General Staff, Sir Norman Brook, the Secretary to the Cabinet and Patrick Dean, the head of the Permanent Under Secretary's department of the Foreign Office. The book incorporates 1956 releases from the Public Record under the Open Government Initiative, to reassess the role of officials and the process of policymaking, through the analysis of the activities and role of a range of players.
