Description
This book looks at all the main phases of British foreign policy from
the 1890s to the 1990s. It not only explores such major events as the
Boer War, Appeasement, and the Suez Crisis, but also looks well beyond
traditional diplomacy, taking in strategic, technological, economic, and
ideological factors, as well as looking at such subjects as the rise of
propaganda agencies and the intelligence community. The author also
details specific international relations and rivalries and charts
domestic influences on policy.
