On June 8, 1982, Ronald Reagan delivered a historic address to the
British Parliament, promising that the United States would give
people around the world “a voice in their own destiny” in the
struggle against Soviet totalitarianism. While British Prime
Minister Margaret Thatcher celebrated Reagan’s visit and thanked
him for putting “freedom on the offensive,” over 100,000
Britons marched from Hyde Park to Trafalgar Square to protest his
arrival and call for nuclear disarmament. Reagan’s homecoming was
equally eventful, with 1,000,000 protesters marking his return with
a rally for nuclear disarmament in Central Park—the largest
protest in American history up to that point. Employing a wide
range of previously unexamined primary sources, Anthony M. Eames
demonstrates how the Reagan and Thatcher administrations used
innovations in public diplomacy to build back support for their
foreign policy agendas at a moment of widespread popular dissent. A
Voice in Their Own Destiny traces how competition between the
governments of Reagan and Thatcher, the Anglo-American antinuclear
movement, and the Soviet peace offensive sparked a revolution in
public diplomacy.
