Available in paperback for the first time, this book assesses the
strains within the 'Special Relationship' between London and
Washington and offers a new perspective on the limits and successes
of British influence during the Korean War. The interaction between
the main personalities on the British side - Attlee, Bevan,
Morrison, Churchill and Eden - and their American counterparts -
Truman, Acheson, Eisenhower and Dulles - are chronicled. By the end
of the war the British were concerned that it was the Americans,
rather than the Soviets, who were the greater threat to world
peace. British fears concerning the Korean War were not limited to
the diplomatic and military fronts these extended to the
'Manchurian Candidate' threat posed by returning prisoners of war
who had been exposed to communist indoctrination. The book is
essential reading for those interested in British and US foreign
policy and military strategy during the Cold War. -- .
