Suez 1956: A Personal Account presents a rare, first-hand chronicle of one of the most defining and controversial episodes of post-war British history, offering an insider's perspective on the diplomatic manoeuvring, political pressures, and fateful decisions that shaped the crisis and ultimately redefined Britain's place in the world.\n\nLloyd's account is a document of profound historical significance, written with the measured authority of a statesman who bore direct responsibility for the events he describes. His narrative illuminates the complex interplay between ambition, alliance, and humiliation — revealing the tensions with Washington, the secret protocols of Sèvres, and the crushing pressure that forced a British withdrawal. For anyone seeking to understand the moment Britain's imperial confidence was irrevocably shattered, this candid testimony raises as many questions as it answers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203398115547,"sku":"2026200013990-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/05bf173d-0c80-4f29-b187-6e0f2ca91b20.png?v=1788148630","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013990-secondhand-suez-1956-a-personal-account","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
