About the Book

This collection of essays is largely based upon papers given to the Conference on British Security Policy, 1945-56, held at King's College, London, in March 1987. Over 100 scholars from Britain and abroad attended the conference, which highlighted the growing interest in post-World War II international history. From 1945, when she became one of the members of the wartime "Grand Alliance", to 1956, when she faced defeat in the Suez crisis, Great Britain continued to play a major role in international affairs. The papers contained in this volume explore a wide range of themes in British diplomatic policy over the crucial post-war decade, often using newly-available evidence from government sources. Major topics include propaganda, atomic policy, imperial problems, European unity and Britain's response to crises in the Middle East and Far East. Michael Dockrill is also the author of "The Cold War, 1945-63". John W.Young has written "Britain, France and the Unity of Europe, 1945-51" and "The Foreign Policy of Churchill's Peacetime Administration".
