| Summary: | Rothwell (history, U. of Edinburgh) draws on newly available information to reassess the view of Eden (1897-1977), the British Prime Minister usually blamed for the Suez Crisis. He explores Eden's appeasement of fascist leaders, his attitudes towards the Soviet Union and the US, his tense 20-year relationship with Churchill, his actions as Foreign Secretary during WWII, the domestic and foreign aspects of his brief premiership, and the circumstances of his resignation.
