The Suez Crisis. 1956
Description
This documentary looks at the African side of the 1956 Arab-Israeli conflict-the British-French attempt to safeguard their economic interest in the Suez Canal. It explains the Anglo-French intervention of 1956, rapidly and forcefully put to an end by President Eisenhower; it also goes back in time to explain Britain's role in the Suez area, its history in Egypt, and its condescending view of Egyptian competence.
