Global Conflict and Security since 1945: Britain, the US and the EC, 1969–74

Rossbach, Niklas H.

This book reveals that 1969-74 was a crucial period for the special relationship. The Heath Government attempted to reverse Britain's decline as a great power by forging an American-European special relationship out of the Anglo-American relationship. Simultaneously the Nixon Administration tried to recoup the global position of the United States.
