Devereux analyzes the attempts by Britain to maintain a strong defensive posture in the Middle East and North Africa in a period of Cold War tension and withdrawal from empire. Although vital to British economic interests, a Britain of dwindling military power could not maintain control of this region without substantial assistance from the US. Using newly released documentary evidence, Devereux provides the background to 1956, when Britain's true position was exposed at Suez. Acidic paper. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
