At the end of World War II, Britain faced enormous financial and
economic problems, made more intractable by the heavy defence
expenditure demanded by colonial presence in Asia, Africa and the
Middle East and the decision to go ahead with producing a British
atomic bomb in the light of a growing Soviet threat.This book looks
at how British defence policy has balanced the country's need to
maintain the status of an independent nuclear power with its
diminishing role in world politics, generally, concentrating on how
that policy was applied in key events such as the Korean War, the
Suez crisis of 1956 and the Falklands. It will provide a clearly
written and accessible analysis of the main currents of and
developments in British defence policy since 1945. This book is
aimed at students (including upper forms in schools, first-year
undergraduates) of politics and history and general readers.
