Eden's Empire

Fifty years ago, Britain propelled itself into a disastrous war in

the Middle East. Condemned by the UN and accused of falsifying

intelligence, the Prime Minister was left fighting for his political

life against a Party disillusioned, a public betrayed, and a wily

Chancellor with ambitions to take his place...



With the pressure of opposition to his war, Prime Minister

Anthony Eden rapidly lost his grip on both the Empire and his health.

Unable to control the growing power of both the United States and the

Arab world, nor his own failing body, history would mark him as the

worst British Prime Minister of the twentieth century.



A new, uncompromising political thriller exploring with electrifying

theatricality the events of the Suez Crisis, and the tragic story of

its flawed hero - Churchill's golden boy and heir apparent, Anthony

Eden.
