Histiography of the 1956 Suez Crisis

Histiography of the 1956 Suez Crisis

Order Description

The paper is to be written as a historiographical essay. Rather than subjecting actual events to historical analysis, the subject of historiography is the history of the history of an event, meaning the manner in which scholars have written about the subject, the sometimes conflicting objectives pursued by those writing about the event over time, and the way in which such factors have shaped our understanding of the event. THE SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE OF THIS PAPER IS TO EXPLORE THE SPECIFIC OPINIONS OF AT LEAST 3 SCHOLARS ON THE TOPIC. THESE OPINIONS MAY OR MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTORY; HOWEVER THEY MAY DIFFER IN TERMS OF EMPHASIS. Focus on British and American views of the conflict.
