Cover Notes
In June 1950 the North Korean forces across the 38th parallel into South Korea, and United States intervened to prevent the spread of communism, thus engaged itself in a three-year war which undermined the Truman administration and lead Eisenhower to contemplate the use of tactical nuclear weapons. Although Britain supported the United States in 1950, sending warships and two army brigades to the Korea, the war strained Anglo-American relations, raising questions about global consequences of U.S. policies and the extent of British influence within the special relationship to between Washington and London.
This book charts British military and diplomatic activity, looking at the impact of the war on an Anglo American relations during the Attlee and Churchill governments, the value of the British involvement and the long term consequences.
