British Strategy and Intelligence in the Suez Crisis[electronic resource] /by Danny Steed. - 1st ed. 2016. - VIII, 211 p. 1 illus. in color.online resource.

Introduction: Strategy and Intelligence, Britain and the Suez Crisis -- 1.Strategy and Intelligence: The Nature and Function of the Relationship -- 2. How was British Intelligence Structured by the Time of the Suez Crisis? -- 3. What Assumptions Existed in the British Government during the Suez Crisis? -- 4. How did British Intelligence Inform Policy Development during the Suez Crisis? -- 5. What Role did British Intelligence Play in Operationalising British Policy on Suez into a Viable Plan of Action? -- 6. How did British Intelligence Help the Feedback Process? -- 7. How was British Intelligence Changed after the Suez Crisis? -- Conclusion: British Strategy and Intelligence at Suez, a Special but Fragile Relationship.

This book traces the activities of the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS/MI6) and the Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC) during the Suez Crisis, one of the most infamous episodes of British foreign policy. In doing so it identifies broader lessons not only about the events of 1956, but about the place of intelligence in strategy itself. It provides both an exploration of the relationship between intelligence and strategy at the conceptual level, and also a historical account, and strategic analysis of, the performance of the Joint Intelligence Committee and the Secret Intelligence Service during this time. Focusing on the period immediately before, during, and after the crisis, Danny Steed brings together a complete picture of intelligence story in Britain that has so far eluded comprehensive treatment in the Suez historiography. Through extensive consultation of declassified archival sources, a re-examination of often referred to sources, and the employment of oral history, this study identifies the most significant lessons about the use of intelligence revealed by the Suez Crisis.
