The author recounted that nine days prior to the 1956 presidential election, Israel, Britain, and France attacked Egypt, which had recently nationalized the Suez Canal, the transportation artery for 2/3 of Western Europe's oil supply. The Soviet Union soon announced the intention to intervene in the Middle East, which resulted in President Dwight Eisenhower's decision to place American military forces on high alert and condemn the attacks on Egypt at the United Nations. Mr. Nichols utilized Oval Office and National Security Council minutes to recount the foreign policy negotiations, which resulted in a cease-fire announced on Election Day, November 6, 1956. Mr. Nichols responded to questions from members of the audience at this Livingston Lecture at the Atlanta History Center. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/299546-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Public Affairs Event http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/299546-1 Sat, 18 Jun 2011 16:00:19 GMT "The Presidency and the Supreme Court" is a conference sponsored by the nation's twelve Presidential Libraries, their foundations, and the National Archives. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/202052-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Public Affairs Event http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/202052-1 Mon, 12 Nov 2007 00:00:00 GMT David Nichols talked about his book, [A Matter of Justice: Eisenhower and the Beginning of the Civil Rights Revolution], published by Simon and Schuster.
