“The Anglo leader looked across the globe and saw a Muslim nation, which had already been stirring things up, potentially threatening a vital waterway. At the same time, Israel had its own beef against that country, and was pushing for a joint first-strike. So together, the two governments launched a military attack. But things did not go well.

Yet these are the outlines of the Suez Crisis of 1956.” (10/20/26)
