Opis

During the Cold War, the period 1960-63 was one of great political flux for the Western Allies, particularly Britain and the US. The history of Anglo-American strategic relations cannot be understood fully without considering the rise of France as a nuclear power and the challenge this posed to the NATO alliance.
