Description:

This volume deals with the gradual eclipse of British power in the Middle East, a process that began during World War Two and reached its denouement with the British agreement to evacuate the Suez Base in 1954.

Synopsis:

Britain emerged from World War II dependent economically and militarily upon the US. Egypt was the hub of Britain's imperial interests in the Middle East, but her inability to maintain a large garrison there was clear to the indigenous peoples. These essays track the decline of the empire.
