Resum

The Suez crisis (1956) was a decisive event for the expansion of Arab nationalism and its fight against the British empire. This study makes an assessment of the role played by radio in that crisis and its influence on both the Egyptian and Arab public opinion. The conclusions demonstrate that it was an instrument of paramount importance to preserve the unity of the Egyptian people in support of President Nasser and the strengthening of Pan-Arab solidarity. This factor contributed to the failure of the Franco-British intervention, demonstrating the relevance of soft power and political communication in modern military conflicts.
