Sir Anthony Eden and the Suez Crisis Reluctant Gamble

A reappraisal of Sir Anthony Eden's conduct of foreign relations during the Suez crisis of 1956, This book challenges previous assumptions and demonstrates that Eden was not as bellicose as has been alleged. It traces his conduct of crisis management, from July until his decision to use force on 14 October, focusing on the Prime Minister's personality and influences. It details the confusion and failed attempts at negotiation that eventually culminated in the reluctant gamble.Pearson, Jonathan is the author of 'Sir Anthony Eden and the Suez Crisis Reluctant Gamble' with ISBN 9780333984512 and ISBN 033398451X.
