Heath, Nixon and the Rebirth of the Special Relationship : Britain, the US and the EC, 1969-74 PDF
by Niklas H. Rossbach
Part of the Global Conflict and Security Since 1945 series
Description
Heath, Nixon and the Rebirth of the Special Relationship reveals a crucial juncture for the Anglo-American 'special relationship' in the years 1969-1974.
The Heath Government attempted to reverse Britain's decline as a great power by forging an American-European 'special relationship' out of the Anglo-American one; simultaneously the Nixon Administration tried to recoup the global position of the United States.
Britain pursued both an EC membership and a viable European union by the end of the nineteen-seventies in the hope of once more providing the US with an equal partner.
The result though, was a formative failure and the rebirth of the 'special relationship'.
This work offers an explanation of the expectations of a coming multipolar world among key decision-makers, especially Edward Heath's vision of Europe and of Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger's attitudes to the Anglo-American 'special relationship'.
