O knihe

Catherine Hynes: The Year That Never Was: Heath the Nixon Administration and the Year of Europe, (Dublin: University College Dublin Press, 2009) (£55).

This work analyses the period 1970-74. Whilst good at explaining the UK side of the story, it barely explains the US perspective of the relationship. My book analyses US motivations and policy in far greater detail and thus produces a more rounded account of the US-UK relationship.

Andrew Scott: Allies Apart: Heath, Nixon and the Anglo-American Relationship (Basingstoke: Palgrave Macmillan, 2011) (£90).

This is a very similar study to the one produced by Hynes, and again looks at the Heath-Nixon relationship. Much like the work of Hynes, it rarely utilises American source material and thus does not convincingly explore the US angle of the relationship. My book does do this, and by doing so, produces a more convincing and nuanced assessment of the relationship.

Niklas Rossbach: Heath, Nixon and the Rebirth of the Special Relationship: Britain, the US and the EC, 1969-74 (Basingstoke: PalgraveMacmillan, 2009) (£90)

Again, this work only looks at the Nixon-Heath years. However, it looks at the US-UK relationship in thematic fashion. This ultimately presents a picture that the relationship was handled in this manner by the various policy making elites. This is a misleading argument to present, and as my work makes clear, many aspects of the US-UK relationship were interconnected, often overlapped, and relations in the security realm, for example, could have a profound bearing upon economic interaction.
