Allies Apart tells the story of Anglo-American relations at a
pivotal time, with Britain joining Europe and the US pursing
detente with the communist superpowers. To date, the period has
been widely portrayed as a low-point for the Anglo-American
alliance -- even the end of the so-called 'special relationship'.
Using newly-released material from both sides of the Atlantic,
Andrew Scott examines if and why this has been the case. Whereas
commentators and historians have previously blamed Edward Heath for
deliberately downgrading relations with Washington in order to open
the door to Europe, Scott reveals a very different perspective,
demonstrating the extent to which policy-making under Richard Nixon
-- assisted by his chief adviser, Henry Kissinger -- affected
transatlantic relations. As the White House set out to transform
international relations, overhaul the global economic order and
impose its Cold War rivalry on regional crises, London was left
feeling impotent, marginalized and even double-crossed -- all of
which fuelled the case for Europe.
