About this book

This book examines Conservative backbench debate on European integration and British relations in the Middle East between 1948 and 1957. In seeking to compare the impact of a loose affiliation of Conservative MPs, an organized faction of longstanding and an ad-hoc pressure group, the text concentrates upon the Europeanists, the Suez Group and the Anti-Suez Group and considers their attempts to influence British foreign policy, using interviews with former parliamentarians and contemporary sources, published and unpublished.

Reviews

'This well-researched and entertaining book is recommended to all who are interested in understanding the board forces which impinge upon the policy-making process in Britain.' - Michael David Kandiah, Diplomacy & Statecraft
