Overview
This book makes exhaustive use of newly opened archive sources in a successful bid to offer an authoritative and compelling account of Anglo-American defense relations during the Presidency of John F. Kennedy. This coherent and well-written survey presents the most comprehensive and up-to-date analysis yet of Anglo-American relations during the early 1960s. Reserving special attention for those intriguing questions traditionally left unanswered by historians she goes about a systematic review of the period and in the process comes to some remarkable conclusions.Editorials

The Skybolt missile cancellation and the Multilateral Nuclear Force proposal are two major problems that Murray (history, U. of Ulster-Coleraine) describes as threatening the relations between the Cold War allies. She also investigates the Special Relationship that some say do, some say did once, and some say does not exist between them. She draws on newly opened archival material. Her study began as a Ph.D. dissertation in 1997. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
