Suez Fiasco Haunts Britain and France Amid Reflections
A 30 year reflection on the 1956 Suez crisis notes Britain and France faced U.S. opposition, the downfall of Eden, and a diminished European role. Analysts Robert Rhodes James and William Rees-Mogg weigh blame while Jews and Egyptians are not cited. The piece recalls the nationalization of the canal and the secret two-track plan that led to the invasion. The article ends with the October 29 Israeli attack and the set course toward escalation.
