Sinopsis

Anthony Eden was born in the year of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee (1897) and died in the year of Queen Elizabeth's Silver Jubilee (1997). He had good looks, charm, a Military Cross from the First World War, a First from Oxford, a safe parliamentary seat - and ambition. A man of rigid honour, he resigned as Foreign Secretary in 1938 because he could not agree with the policy of appeasement to Hitler. After the commencement of hostilities, he was brought back into politics and served a long apprenticeship as Churchill's right-hand man. Eventually he achieved his heart's desire and became Prime Minister, only to be brought down by the Suez Crisis.
