287. Suez Crisis: Lies, Cyanide Pills, & Soviet Tanks (Part 4)

Hello and welcome to episode four of Empire in our Sewers Crisis series with me, Anita Arnand. And me, William Durimple. And of course, with Alex von Tinselmann, author of Blood and Sand. And Alex has just been taking us through, if it weren't so um Armageddon-y, it would be like a soap opera. I guess there are so many fascinating vignettes and characters and things going on off screen, uh, as with the best kind of sort of soap operas, and you keep dipping in and out of different areas.

And we left you on a on a cliffhanger. We left you with Egypt. NASA now has mobilized his country on a war footing. The Brits have managed to annoy everybody, especially the Israelis, with whom they were in cahoots to take control. I say they enjoyed the Egyptians a bit more, probably, they're bombing them.

I mean, that that's a given. Using your civilian airport in Cairo, I'd I'd be a bit pissed off if I was the Egyptians. Yeah. They've annoyed the Americans. They haven't told them about it.
