From Book News, Inc.
Examines the diplomatic relations between the Royal Egyptian government and the British government during the decade leading up to the Suez crisis, primarily relating to sovereignty over the Sudan, the administration of it, and whether the Sudanese should be guaranteed the right to full self-determination. The issue shifted suddenly in 1952 when a revolution brought a new regime to Cairo that made no claim to Sudan. Centers on the role of the Sudan Political Service, elite British colonial administrators who took a leading role in protecting Sudan from Egyptian domination. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
