The Limits of Covert Action in an Election Year
A strained partnership?
This is the first monograph-length study that charts the coercive diplomacy of the administrations of Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford as practised against their British ally in order to persuade Edward Heath’s government to follow a more amenable course throughout the ‘Year of Europe’ and to convince Harold Wilson’s governments to lessen the severity of proposed defence cuts. Such diplomacy proved effective against Heath but rather less so against …
Camelot and Canada
The Eccentric Realist
The Power of Oil
This article focuses on Anglo-American relations during, what US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger termed, the ‘Year of Europe’. In particular, Anglo-American interaction leading up to, and during, the Washington Energy Conference (11–13 February 1974) is examined. By doing this, subtle nuances in the foreign policy of Edward Heath, British Prime Minister, 1970–1974, can be better appreciated. Traditionally viewed by commentators as varying betw…
Nuclear Illusion, Nuclear Reality
The year that never was
The “Limit of What is Tolerable”
This article focuses upon the British defence cuts undertaken during the final governments of Harold Wilson, 1974–1976, within the broader context of the Anglo–American “special relationship.” Utilising previously classified material, it shows how the United States attempted to negate the severity of Britain's defence cuts. Such efforts were largely futile in preventing such reductions. Moreover, Anglo–American co-operation in a number of highly …
Henry Kissinger, Great Britain and the ‘Year of Europe’
Henry Kissinger's ‘Year of Europe’ was supposed to produce a renewed ‘Atlantic Charter’. Anglo-American differences over the creation of this led to severe discord between the two countries. The severity of this disagreement has not been noted by the existing historiography. These political antagonisms resulted in the cancellation of both intelligence and nuclear cooperation between the United States and Britain. This was done at the behest of Ki…
Antelope, Poseidon or a Hybrid
It is the purpose of this article to illustrate how the British government reached its decision to upgrade the Polaris strategic nuclear deterrent in 1973. Using British and American documentation it is demonstrated that the strategic imperatives for upgrading Polaris were fundamental to the project. Existing accounts of the Polaris Improvement Project, however, have not given the appropriate attention to the wider US–UK political differences in …
