This book is the first account of the British diplomatic mission in
Pakistan from its foundation at the end of the Raj in 1947 to the
'War on Terror'. Drawing on original documents and interviews with
participants, this book highlights key events and personalities as
well as the influence and perspectives of individual diplomats
previously not explored. The book demonstrates that the period
witnessed immense changes in Britain's standing in the world and in
the international history of South Asia to show that Britain
maintained a diplomatic influence out of proportion to its economic
and military strength. The author suggests that Britain's impact
stemmed from colonial-era ties of influence with bureaucrats,
politicians and army heads which were sustained by the growth of a
Pakistani Diaspora in Britain. Additionally, the book illustrates
that America's relationship with Pakistan was transactional as
opposed to Britain's, which was based on ties of sentiment as, from
the mid-1950s, the United States was more able than Britain to give
Pakistan the financial, military and diplomatic support it desired.
A unique and timely analysis of the British diplomatic mission in
Pakistan in the decades after independence, this book will be of
interest to academics working in the fields of South Asian History
and Politics, International Relations, British and American
Diplomacy and Security Studies, Cold War Politics and History and
Area Studies.
