  • Description: Working on important documents, Professor Vedovato reconstructs an overall political and thorough diplomatic study of the 1956 Suez Crisis, with a direct experience of matters because he was a protagonist of Italian parliamentary discussion about this problem. His balanced analysis was considered important by his political adversaries too. Vedovato's approach considers the Suez Crisis the turning point in Arabian world history and so in Arabian-Israeli conflict, in Euro-Atlantic relations and in Italian politics. Italian Foreign Minister Mr. Martino's policy was based on national interests and on Atlantic loyalty and friendship with Arabian countries, being able to summarize political differences among the parties of the government's majority and among Demochristian party too. While Italy played a role in stability search, on the contrary there were disagreements among NATO powers. The United Kingdom and France looked at gunboat diplomacy with an ancient colonial principle while the U.S.A. thought of a new system of power in the Middle East, like U.R.S.S.. The American government worked to prevent war, saving relationship with the heterogeneous Bandung Group. So all problems converged to the events happened on October 29, 1956. The correlation between Hungarian revolution and the timing of the Suez Crisis produced a complex picture in the political context at the United Nations. Anyway, in this difficult context, Italy acquired a new international respect lost during World War II.
