I'm interested in reading first-hand accounts by ordinary soldiers in the Suez Crisis. I've checked my usual sources - I usually find abebooks search engine very useful - and found almost nothing. (Guy Claisse, Suez 1956, published in 2006 is the one exception.) I'm particularly interested in accounts by British soldiers, but I can read French, and I'd certainly look at accounts by Israelis or Egyptians if they were translated into English.

I think I can see what's happening: all soldiers have memories, but they tend to only write them down if the conflict they were involved in counts as glorious (or, at least, as important). Suez is only remembered as a mistake, so publishers aren't interested.

Any help or advice welcomed!

Thank you in advance
