Which event better characterises British military interventions:
the trauma of Suez or the triumph of the Falklands? This book,
first published in 1984, examines these engagements and those of
the intervening period to provide a sober and considered response
to this question. The issues raised are central to the debate
concerning Britain's defence capabilities and its role in world
politics. The author argues that it is only under severely
restricted conditions that Britain could reasonably expect a
successful outcome from long-range military intervention. The
constraints are not merely those of military capacity: public
opinion also has its role to play. By analysing these conditions
and the way they have influenced the outcomes of past interventions
the author points the way to framing a practical and reasonable
defence and foreign policy in the Third World.
