Naval War College Review
Volume 59, Number 4 (2006) Autumn
The Sinai Peninsula, as seen from the space shuttle Challenger (mission STS- 41G) in October 1984. Clearly visible, stretching from the Mediterranean on the right through the Great Bitter Lake to the Red Sea, is the Suez Canal, scene of the Suez Crisis of 1956, a half-century ago this year. Those momentous events are recalled and assessed in this issue by Michael Coles, a former Royal Navy officer.
