100 Hours to Suez, first published in 1957, is a firsthand account of Israel's invasion of Egypt's Sinai Peninsula in late 1956. Included are 3 pages of maps. Author Robert Henriques (1905-1967) was a British writer, broadcaster, and farmer. During World War II he served in the British Army as well as with the American army, and, as he states in 100 Hours to Suez “during World War II, I spent much of my time serving with United States forces; I landed with United States assault troops at both Casablanca and Sicily; on occasion I have worn the American uniform with pride; I served with General Patton in North Africa; I was twice given medals by President Roosevelt in reward for my services under General Eisenhower.”
