Overview
Debunking most historiansā opinion that the Suez crisis was merely a minor incident linked to the end of colonial rule in Egypt, Eisenhower 1956ādrawing on hundreds of newly declassified documentsāmakes clear that it was the most dangerous crisis of Eisenhowerās presidency. Eisenhower used economic threats to force his British, French, and Israeli allies to withdraw from Egypt and put U.S. military forces on alert to deter Soviet intervention in the Middle East. Current U.S. policy in the region dates to the Suez crisis, when we replaced Great Britain as the guarantor of stability.
Acclaimed Eisenhower expert David Nichols masterfully weaves great personal dramaāEisenhowerās two life-threatening illnessesāwith simultaneous world crises (Americaās closest allies invade Egypt while the Soviets invade Hungary) and the final days of the 1956 presidential election campaign into a white-knuckle read.Ā
