To save his people, he will defy a world.

They lied. Now, Nassar's once-great nation is destitute; his people without hope. This dishonor cannot stand, not if he is to remain in power. Not if he is to stay alive. He must risk all and take back what rightfully belongs to his country.

But what will be the cost and who will pay the price?

Brigette, a dogged journalist, uncovers a lost document signed by the diplomats of three nations — The Protocol of Sèvres. The secret letter is an agreement to collude and take back what was stolen from their nations. To reveal the truth is treason. To stay silent means war.

With time running out, can Brigette parlay her discovery into something far more valuable?

The American president, Eisenhower, is caught in the middle. His adversary is threatening the nuclear destruction of Europe if the invasion is not stopped. The bombers are in the air. The missiles are warming up in their silos. All are waiting for the signal to attack. America has no choice but to respond in kind.

Can Eisenhower keep events from spinning out of control and his allies from unintentionally starting World War III?

Based on a true story, Sèvres Protocol is historical fiction intertwining real and imagined characters. It is the tale of the 1956 Suez Crisis, a trumped-up war devised to overthrow a tyrant and regain a lost empire. Hubris is a cruel mistress.

How close did humanity come to total annihilation?
