Reveals the true nature of relations between the US and the UK during the Carter presidency
Robb Thomas draws upon a wealth of previously classified documents to reveal that relations between Britain and the United States of America during Carter's presidency were riven with antagonism and disagreement. Contrary to existing interpretations, even the most 'special' aspects of intelligence and nuclear cooperation were not immune to high-level political tension.
Robb exposes the true competitive nature of the relationship during Carter’s presidency, as well as providing an original understanding to how both countries approached the breakdown of superpower détente; the subject of international human rights promotion; the tackling of common economic and energy challenges and to the Anglo-American nuclear and intelligence relationship.
Thomas K. Robb is a Senior Lecturer in History at Oxford Brookes University. His first book was A Strained Partnership? US-UK Relations in the Era of Détente, 1969-77, which was published by Manchester University Press in 2013. He has had journal articles published in Diplomacy and Statecraft, International History Review and the Journal of Strategic Studies among others.
