Using formerly secret government documents and independent sources, this fascinating historical study argues for a radically revised understanding of post-war British foreign policy.
Mark Curtis shows that, contrary to the impression usually conveyed by both academic writing and press coverage, British policy, in both intention and effect, has been far removed from the principles it has conventionally been assumed to be based on: the pursuit of peace, the promotion of democracy and human rights, and the relief of poverty worldwide.
This book covers the whole of the post-war period. It examines British foreign policy planners' aims and interventions in a host of Third World countries, as well as looking at the special relationship with the United States. The author also analyses the role of both press and academia in providing support for British policy.
