This book, based on recently declassified documents in Britain and
the USA, is the first detailed account of Britain's East of Suez
decision, which was taken by the Harold Wilson Government in
1967-68. Contrary to received opinion, the author argues that the
decision was not taken hastily as a result of the November 1967
devaluation. Nor is there any hard evidence to support the notion
that there existed a 'Pound-Defence' deal with the USA. Despite
Washington's pressure to maintain Britain's East of Suez role, the
decision was taken by the Labour Government on the basis of a
long-term effort to re-examine Britain's world role since 1959, and
it marked the end of an era for postwar Britain.
