This volume examines British policy towards the Soviet Union in the
aftermath of the invasion of Afghanistan in December 1979. The
documents in this volume, many released into the public realm for
the first time, describe the development of British policy towards
the Soviet Union during the eventful years 1979-1982. The new
Conservative government, under Margaret Thatcher, was determined to
strengthen British defences against the perceived Soviet threat and
advocated a strong response to the Soviet intervention. East-West
relations further deteriorated following the imposition of martial
law in Poland in December 1981. The dilemma facing the British
government was how to express strong disapproval of Soviet actions
while still attempting to maintain a constructive bilateral
relationship, and at the same time keep British policy in line with
the Western Alliance. The death of President Brezhnev in November
1982, after 18 years in office, brought uncertainty but also new
opportunities for relations with the Soviets. This book will be of
much interest to students of British politics and foreign policy,
Russian history, US foreign policy, Central Asian politics, and IR
in general.
