Why Eisenhower Forced Britain to Surrender in 48 Hours - The Ally Who Lied to His Face

In October 1956, British Prime Minister Anthony Eden secretly conspired with France and Israel to retake the Suez Canal from Egypt's President Nasser - and deliberately kept Eisenhower in the dark. Drawing on declassified State Department cables, British Cabinet records, and the Protocol of Sevres - the secret document Britain tried to destroy - this documentary examines the covert plan Eden built behind Washington's back, how American intelligence uncovered it before the first shot was fired, and why Eisenhower's response had nothing to do with military force. The weapon Eisenhower chose was one that Britain never saw coming, and it worked in less than 48 hours. What happened inside the British Cabinet when the financial pressure hit? Why did the man who most supported the invasion become the first to demand it stop? And what did Suez reveal about the special relationship that both governments had spent a decade refusing to acknowledge?
