IRL #17

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/ops/suez.htm

This is a historical account of the Suez Crisis based on military accounts and published by globalsecurity.org. It connects to what we're studying about the Arab-Israeli crisis and the war over the Suez Canal in Egypt. It adds to what we learned because it's a more detailed explanation of the events in the crisis and the specific actions/contributions of the USA to the war in military terms (e.g. the fleets that were sent to the Middle East), but a limitation is because of the focus on American standpoint/involvement on/in the war and perhaps some ambiguity in the records, it is not made clear why the Anglo-French Attack on Egypt occurred/how it was justified.
