The President's Year of Crisis: Suez and the Brink of War

By Richard Reeves

In July 1956, Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal, a vital waterway for global shipping. President Dwight D. Eisenhower was determined to prevent Nasser from seizing control of the canal, but he also wanted to avoid a war with Egypt.

The President's Year of Crisis tells the story of how Eisenhower and his advisors navigated this perilous situation, ultimately averting war and preserving the peace.
