"Kennedy, Johnson and the Defence of NATO" is an incisive
reassessment of Anglo-American defense 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
defense.
Traditionally, studies of US-UK relations at this time have tended
to concentrate on developing difficulties between Presidents and
Prime Ministers (particularly Harold Wilson andLyndon 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.
