never been impressed by Robertson's stuff on Suez
he's basically a fanatical Lester B. Pearsonite who just had an extreme bias against Anthony Eden the British Prime Minister in trying to get rid of Nasser after he nationalized the Suez Canal just before another Arab-Israeli war was breaking out.
a rah-rah book for the insignificance of Canada, trying to give the British Foreign Office a poke in the eyeball, as Robertson likes Pearson hugging and kissing John Foster Dulles in the United Nations bathroom.
It's more a book about fanatical devotion to Lester B. Pearson's Foreign Policy than anything objective about the war, with a touch of I Like Ike.
