| Description: |
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. |
| Synopsis: |
Heath, Nixon and the Rebirth of the Special Relationship reveals a crucial juncture for the Anglo-American 'special relationship' in the years 1969-1974. 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 one; simultaneously the Nixon Administration tried to recoup the global position of the United States. Britain pursued both an EC membership and a viable European union by the end of the nineteen-seventies in the hope of once more providing the US with an equal partner. The result though, was a formative failure and the rebirth of the 'special relationship'. This work offers an explanation of the expectations of a coming multipolar world among key decision-makers, especially Edward Heath's vision of Europe and of Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger's attitudes to the Anglo-American 'special relationship'. |
