| Sommario/riassunto: | This book provides a detailed historical account of the political and diplomatic events surrounding the Suez Crisis of 1956. It examines the complex interactions between key figures such as Gamal Abdel Nasser, the President of Egypt, and leaders of Western powers, particularly the UK and the US, during a period of heightened tension in the Middle East. The author delves into the motivations and strategies of the involved nations, exploring themes of imperialism, nationalism, and geopolitical maneuvering. The book aims to offer a comprehensive understanding of the crisis, supported by archival documents and eyewitness accounts. It is intended for readers interested in mid-20th-century history, international relations, and Middle Eastern politics. |
