Dulles Over Suez. The Theory and Practice of His Diplomacy.

Quadrangle. Chicago. n.d. (c.1964). Endpaper maps, black and white photographic illustrations frontispiece, xix + 538pp + xivpp, index, bibliography, nice copy in slightly worn, price-clipped, now protected dustjacket. "The Suez Crisis of 1956, which caused a hot war in the Middle East and threatened an atomic World War III, was one of the most momentous and formative in United States foreign policy in the twentieth century. This book attempts a close scrutiny of the diplomacy and action of those who represented the United States at that time, chiefly John Foster Dulles, who acted under the authority of President Eisenhower. The title of the book, in fact, expresses the decisive effect of Secretary Dulles' character and personality on the mighty world forces then in conflict." Foreward.
