Inhaltsangabe

The Daily Telegraph, 3/3/00 - reviewed by Douglas Hurd
"So much has been written about the role of the politicians in the Suez
affair - Butler, Macmillan, Eden himself - that the story has become
repetitious. The journal Contemporary British History has published these
admirable essays on the senior officials and serving officers. It is a
brilliant idea."
The Spectator, 1/4/00 - review by Donald Cameron-Watt
"Significant details of the various cock-ups that beset the operation only
leaked out gradually beyond the circle of politicians, journalists,
academics and other students of the machinery of British government and
foreign policy-making. Suez buffs will find in Whitehall and the Suez
Crisis a first account of how those internal cock-ups and deceits affected
12 of the leading officials concerned with British policy.... Taken
together they give a remarkably consistent picture."
Contemporary British History
"can be confidently recommended as an important contribution to our
understanding of one of the central events in Britain"s twentieth century
political history"
The Frontline
"should be prescribed as a textbook for trainees in the diplomatic service.
Nothing like it has appeared before"
Twentieth Century British History
"well-written and well researched papers that focus on an important
individual"
The International History Review
"a groundbreaking book
