Synopses & Reviews
Cold War Britain 1945-1964 offers new perspectives on ways in which Britain fought the Cold War, and illuminates key areas of the policy formulation process. It argues that in many ways Britain and the US perceived and handled the threat posed by the Communist bloc in similar terms: nevertheless, Britain's continuing global commitments, postwar economic problems and domestic considerations obliged her on occasion to tackle the threat rather differently.
