Eden's Empire

Eden's Empire Synopsis

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.
