Note (Content)"Andrew Priest closely examines this key relationship by focusing on the so-called Nassau agreement of December 1962. He clearly places Nassau in its context and shows how multi-level collaboration continued between the US and UK in NATO despite growing tensions over American involvement in Southeast Asia and Britain's global role. First, he shows how agreements made between Presidents and Prime Ministers shape alliances by encouraging interaction between politicians, government officials and military personnel at various levels of formality. Second, by focusing on the NATO area, he assesses US-UK attitudes to European and North Atlantic defence."
"This book will be essential reading for students of US foreign policy, British foreign policy, Anglo-American relations, European-American relations and the history of NATO."--Jacket.
