Suez
Cover Notes Why was this operation launched against the wishes of almost every senior British Commander ? Why did premier Anthony Eden run such a personnel crusade against Nasser ? Why was the French military so much more therefore effective than the British ? The British involvement in the military action to secure the Suez Canal from Nasser in the autumn of 1956 proved to be one of the greatest political debacles of the century, with repercussions to Britain's standing as a major player in world politics. In the light of many newly released government documents the author appraises the military campaign and the international backlash that it caused. Reviews Non
