In the autumn of 1956, the world held its breath as Britain, France, and Israel launched a covert military operation against Egypt in what became one of the most audacious and politically catastrophic campaigns of the twentieth century — the Suez Crisis. Secrets of Suez chronicles the hidden diplomacy, secret pacts, and calculated deceptions that led to the ill-fated Anglo-French-Israeli invasion, drawing on first-hand accounts and insider knowledge to reconstruct the events that shook the Western alliance to its core. The Brombergers present a gripping narrative of backroom negotiations in Paris and London, the clandestine meetings at Sèvres, and the fateful miscalculations of statesmen who believed they could crush Nasser's Egypt without consequence. Written with the urgency of journalists who were close to the story, Merry and Serge Bromberger deliver a landmark work of political revelation that strips away the official denials and propaganda to expose the truth of a modern imperial adventure gone disastrously wrong. Their account remains a foundational text for understanding Cold War geopolitics, the twilight of European imperialism, and the new world order that emerged in its wake — leaving the reader to wonder just how many other secrets of statecraft remain buried in the archives of power.
