More about the book
Focusing on the historical context, this book presents a comprehensive analysis of Britain's East of Suez decision made by the Harold Wilson Government in 1967-68, challenging prevailing beliefs about its motivations. It contends that the decision was not a hasty response to economic pressures or a result of a supposed 'Pound-Defence' deal with the USA. Instead, it reflects a deliberate, long-term reassessment of Britain's global role initiated in 1959, signifying a pivotal shift in postwar British foreign policy.
