This document is page 39 of a book or memoir (likely by Ehud Barak, given the Mishmar Hasharon reference often associated with him) contained within House Oversight files. It details the history of the 1956 Suez Crisis (Sinai War), discussing the military actions of Battalion 890, the political miscalculations of Ben-Gurion regarding British and French power, and the intervention of the US and Soviet Union. It concludes with a personal reflection from the author about how the war touched them directly at Mishmar Hasharon.
