Kennedy, Johnson and the Defence of NATO is an incisive
reassessment of Anglo-American defence relations, which form a
crucial part of international security. Andrew Priest closely
examines this key relationship by focusing on the so-called Nassau
agreement of December 1962. He clearly places Nassau in its context
and shows how multi-level collaboration continued between the US
and UK in NATO despite growing tensions over American involvement
in Southeast Asia and Britain's global role. Firstly, he shows how
agreements made between Presidents and Prime Ministers shape
alliances in by encouraging interaction between politicians,
government officials and military personnel at various levels of
formality. Secondly, by focusing on the NATO area, he assesses
US-UK attitudes to European and North Atlantic defence.
Traditionally, studies of US-UK relations at this time have tended
to concentrate on developing difficulties between Presidents and
Prime Ministers (particularly Harold Wilson and Lyndon B. Johnson),
over global issues. This study demonstrates the 'dynamics of
alliance' through a nuanced approach at high-political, official
and 'working' levels, across different administrations in the US
and UK. Although more recently some authors have successfully
integrated such a 'multi-layered' approach particularly to studies
of nuclear affairs, they have tended to treat the 1962 Nassau
agreement as something of a denouement. This book will be essential
reading for students of US foreign policy, British foreign policy,
Anglo-American relations, European-American relations and the
history of NATO.
