Description: This book is the first full-length bibliography on Anthony Eden, who was British Foreign Secretary in the 1930s and negotiated with Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin. He resigned in 1938, gaining a worldwide reputation as an opponent of appeasement, and later played a key role in the British wartime Cabinet under Churchill and as Foreign Secretary in the Conservative government of 1951-1955. His brief period as Prime Minister ended soon after his controversial handling of the Suez Crisis. This annotated bibliography cites a wide range of sources, including contemporary periodicals, and brings attention to conflicting interpretations of events and differing assessments of Eden.
