About this book

To date, the Heath-Nixon years have been widely portrayed as marking a low-point in the history of Anglo-American relations – even the end of the 'special relationship'; using a wealth of archival material on both sides of the Atlantic, and examining a range of global developments, Allies Apart offers a fresh interpretation of this pivotal period.

Reviews

'Scott has written a ground-breaking study of a pivotal era in Anglo-American relations. Based on exhaustive research in British and American archives, this is an essential text for scholars working in the field.'

Nigel Ashton, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK

'In this richly researched, carefully argued, and well-written book, Andrew Scott demolishes many of the myths surrounding Anglo-American relations under Richard Nixon and Ted Heath.'

Andrew Preston, Clare College, University of Cambridge, UK

'Allies Apart articulates a credible, concise and convincing new perspective on the development of the 'special relationship', raising revisionary ideas about its perception and utility amongst top-level officialdom...Thoroughly researched and argued, it should serve both as a valuable monograph contribution and as a useful compliment to recent collections of this era...' - Alex Spelling, University of Aberdeen, Contemporary British History

'...well researched work that has also the great merit to fit European integration history into a broader international and European narrative.' -Journal of European Integration History
