 Sir Anthony Eden Resigns | Special reports | Guardian Unlimited
Sir Anthony Eden resigned the office of Prime Minister yesterday because, in the opinion of four doctors, "his health will no longer enable him to sustain the heavy burdens inseparable from the office of Prime Minister."
Sir Anthony's poor health-and no one need doubt that he has not been up to the mark physically for some time-has been accompanied by a developing weakness in the Government.
Sir Anthony entered the chief office with a fine reputation in the international field, and it is a personal disaster for him with which there will be much sympathy that he either had to wait too long for the post or that his equipment was found to be too tender for the task.

 H-Net Review: Daniel C. Williamson on Sir Anthony Eden and the Suez Crisis: Reluctant Gamble
Eden believed that Nasser might fall from power if he was forced to back down on his nationalization of the canal, and thus the Egyptian's brand of radical pan-Arab nationalism would be marginalized, but Eden was not looking for an excuse to oust Nasser by force.
Eden is portrayed as a tragic figure who was let down by his American and French allies as well as his own Cabinet members who undercut his "dual-track" strategy for dislodging Nasser from the canal with diplomatic and economic pressure and the threat of force.
It was Eden who made the final call on the use of force and it was Eden who failed to predict the strong reaction that Washington would have to the invasion of Egypt.
