The Suez crisis of 1956 opened a new chapter in the global political history of
the post second world war period. It was for the first time that the fire of the
hardly a decade old world war would take a shape of new turmoil of sourness
and distrust among the victorious great powers of the second world war over the
Suez crisis 1956. The Suez Crisis turned the entire region of the Middle East
into an area of vital interest for both super powers of the Cold war. The Suez
Crisis intensified struggle among the super powers to maintain influence over
geostrategic locations of the Middle East region. The crisis also surfaced the
differences between the leaders of United States and Great Britain. The Suez
crisis set the trends of global diplomacy in the initial phases of cold war in the
region. Its diverse impact invited scholars to research the issue from different
dimensions. There are so many important aspects attached with the Suez crisis
that sparked our interests to review the literature published on this issue. For
example it was the very first issue since the end of the Second World War and
the beginning of the Cold War, when the two trusted friends United States and
Great Britain diverged in their opinions. The second reason is that the Suez
crisis remained neglected in historical research work on Eisenhower’s era.
Historians’ studies on president Eisenhower mostly focused Vietnam. However
the Eisenhower period is discussed with considerable length. Thirdly, this issue
provides best case study of the pattern of pursuing national interests among the
members of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), United States, Great
Britain and France. Fourthly, it was the first issue on which the main
adversaries of the Cold war, America and USSR had identical views. This paper
presents a critical review of the published material on the Suez crisis in the
decade of 1990s. This study also offers a survey of archival sources that could
help the students as a source of inspiration for further research and will help to
understand the current complexities of Middle Eastern politics.
