Eden, Suez and the Mass Media by Tony Shaw
Examines the battle for hearts and minds waged through the mass media during the Suez crisis. This book explains why the British government assigned such a critical role to propaganda and charts how Prime Minister Anthony Eden sought to use the press and broadcasting as instruments to destroy Egypt's leader, Gamal Abdel Nasser.
"Hilarious..and brilliant" - Robert Fisk, 'Independent'. "Invaluable for the study of the making of foreign policy, of prime ministerial power and Eden as Prime Minister...Above all, it makes an excellent case-study in the relations of government and the media" - Peter Madgwick, 'English Historical Review.'
