The Suez Affair
It's 20 years since the Suez campaign divided the nation, split the Western Alliance and marked a turning point in British history. Keith Kyle, who was then The Economist's Washington Correspondent, presents the first of four films in which he gives his view of the inside story of Suez. 1: Division
