Förlagets beskrivning
This study is a multi-archival documentary history of British policy
towards Nasser's Egypt under the Churchill, Eden, Macmillan, Home and Wilson
governments. It makes wide-ranging use of recently released British and
American documentary sources, as well as a comprehensive survey of the
published secondary sources. The primary focus of the study is an enquiry into
the causes of the Anglo-Egyptian Cold War from 1952 to 1967. These include the
influence of history, Suez, the clash of a declining power, Britain, and a
rising power, Egypt, as well as the role of personality. The book argues that
the key factor was a real clash of national interests between Britain and
Egypt. The national interests at variance were Britain's requirements for bases
in the Middle East to protect its oil and as staging posts for its East of Suez
role. These ran contrary to the Egyptian foreign policy goals of regional
predominance and opposition to imperialism. As a result of the 1967 Middle Eastern war, Egypt's priority became the
restoration of lost territory while the growing economic problems of Britain as
illustrated by her devaluation of the pound led to the abandonment of its
Middle Eastern positions. This study is a multi-archival documentary history of British policy
towards Nasser's Egypt under the Churchill, Eden, Macmillan, Home and Wilson
governments.
