In the tense corridors of power in 1956, a political crisis erupted that would shatter Britain's imperial illusions and reshape the modern Middle East — No End of a Lesson: The Story of Suez is Anthony Nutting's unflinching, insider account of the Suez Crisis, written by a man who resigned his post as British Minister of State for Foreign Affairs in protest at Anthony Eden's catastrophic policy. Nutting chronicles the secret collusion between Britain, France, and Israel to invade Egypt following President Nasser's nationalisation of the Suez Canal, exposing the deceptions, miscalculations, and hubris that led to one of the most humiliating foreign policy disasters in British history. As a key participant in the events he describes, Nutting brings unparalleled authority and moral clarity to a narrative that reads with the urgency of a political thriller. His prose is precise and measured, yet searing in its indictment of Eden's leadership and the broader culture of imperial denial that gripped the British establishment. This seminal work of political memoir argues that Suez was not merely a strategic blunder but a defining moment of national reckoning — and the questions it raises about power, deception, and accountability remain as urgent today as ever.
