Britain and the Cold War, 1945-1991
"Britain's part in the Cold War has often been understated, and frequently misunderstood. Sean Greenwood demonstrates that this process of East-West tension, though dominated by the Superpowers, was often conditioned, and in its early stages accelerated, by Britain's continuing world-wide interests and influence. This concise yet comprehensive study deals with the central events and themes of the Cold War: the Truman Doctrine and Marshall Plan, the division of Germany, Cuba, detente, and the collapse of the Soviet Union, from the vantage point of Britain's part in these developments."--BOOK JACKET.
