The Suez Crisis of 1956 was a complex international event and one of the most significant events of the Cold War. Although the crisis lasted only a few months, its consequences were long-lasting and far exceeded the regional scope of the Middle East. This book comprehensively presents the event while providing an in-depth analysis of the subtle relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States during and after the crisis. It reveals the divisions between the two countries in the post-World War II era, under the backdrop of the Cold War, regarding how they treated the Third World and how they opposed the Soviet Union. The book also examines the impact of these divisions on the "special relationship" between the UK and the US, as well as the underlying motives and essence behind their diplomatic rhetoric.
