This is an exploration of the effectiveness of British defence strategies and an examination of the sceptical US and NATO response to British capabilities. The book argues that Britain's political, diplomatic and military elites have clung doggedly and irrationally to a world view which they are culturally and psychologically incapable of shaking off.
