Full Circle: The Memoirs of Sir Anthony Eden
Hard cover with dust jacket. Good condition.
Full Circle: The Memoirs of Sir Anthony Eden by Anthony Eden is the concluding volume of the former British Prime Minister’s memoirs, covering his tenure as Foreign Secretary and later as Prime Minister, with particular focus on the events leading up to and including the 1956 Suez Crisis. Eden reflects on his long diplomatic career, his efforts to maintain Britain’s global influence in the post-war world, and the mounting tensions in the Middle East, especially with Egyptian leader Gamal Abdel Nasser. The memoir offers Eden’s personal justification of the controversial Anglo-French-Israeli intervention in Egypt following the nationalisation of the Suez Canal, presenting his perspective on the political pressures, strategic calculations, and international reactions—particularly from the United States and the United Nations—that ultimately forced Britain’s withdrawal. Throughout, Eden portrays himself as acting in defence of international law and Western interests, while acknowledging the heavy personal and political toll the crisis took on his premiership and health.
