2/3. Archive material, remarkable interviews, and dramatisations featuring James Fox as Sir Anthony Eden , provide an insight into the Suez crisis of 1956. Conspiracy. The way in which Eden secretly plotted with France and Israel - behind America's back - not only to seize back the Suez Canal but to remove Egyptian president Nasser as well, forms a dramatic, and occasionally comic narrative of intervention in the Middle East. Shimon Peres , at the time head of the Israeli Defence Ministry, speaks about the secret meeting in France where the plot was hatched. Douglas Hurd , then a junior diplomat at the United Nations, recalls how Britain became totally isolated, and Anthony Eden 's widow, Clarissa, describes how her husband coped with the mounting pressure as the conspiracy unravelled.
