Churchill, America and Vietnam 1941-1945 offers a nuanced analysis
of British policy towards the post-war structure of the European
colonial empires. By ample, carefully deployed evidence, the book
concludes, that Churchill was willing to sacrifice French colonial
interests in Vietnam for the sake of his all-important 'special
relationship' with America. This reveals not only a clear sense of
Churchill's wartime priorities, but also fresh and original
insights into the inconsistencies sometimes apparent in the Prime
Minister's position - for example as a staunch defender of
imperialism. There are also numerous illustrations of the
personality and character, not only of Churchill, but also of
Roosevelt and other leading figures. In effect, this book
represents a fusion of British imperial and diplomatic history, and
it emphasises how important they are to one another, by using the
often-neglected case study of Britain's involvement with Vietnam.
