Summary:
"This book is a reappraisal of Sir Anthony Eden's conduct of foreign
relations during the Suez crisis of 1956. It challenges previous
assumptions and demonstrates that Eden was not as bellicose as has
been alleged. Jonathan Pearson traces Eden's conduct of crisis
management from July up to his decision to use force on 14 October,
focusing on the Prime Minister's personality and influences. He
details the confusion and failed negotiation attempts that eventually
led to the 'reluctant gamble'."--BOOK JACKET.
