Cold War Britain de M. Hopkins

Cold War Britain: Cold War History

Editat de M. Hopkins, M. Kandiah, G. Staerck
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2003
Britain and the Cold War, 1945-1964 offers new perspectives on ways in which Britain fought the Cold War, and illuminates key areas of the policy formulation process. It argues that in many ways Britain and the United States perceived and handled the threat posed by the Communist bloc in similar terms: nevertheless, Britain's continuing global commitments, post-war economic problems and somestic considerations obliged her on occasion to tackle the threat rather differently.

Recenzii

'This new book on Britain and the Cold War comes as a very useful addition to the recent literature in that it provides a series of spotlights on specific aspects of the subject...a superb collection of debate-provoking essays.' - Antoine Capet, Université de Rouen, Cercles: Revue pluridisciplinaire du monde anglophone
'The contributors to the book offer valuable new perspectives on the early Cold War by revisiting a number of familiar issues and themes in the light of newly released archival material. These chapters are further contextualised and complimented by analyses of several lesser-known subjects, such as Anglo-Swedish relations. The result is an eclectic survey of British politics and policies in the early Cold War period that clearly establishes the nature and significance of both the 'special relationship' and Britain's place in the world.'
- Journal of Cold War Studies
'Taken together, the essays in this book represent a successful effort by a group of young British scholars to remodel historical understanding of British scholars to remodel historical understanding of British policy in early Cold War period. All have firm archival foundations, heavily weighted toward what is available in the Public Record Office, the National Archives in Washington, the published records of other governments, and memoirs and autobiographies. Though somewhat restricted, this range of primary sources has been exploited so capably that research in suchadditional material as personal papers is unlikely to produce substantially different conclusions.' - Albion
