An examination of nuclear arms control and defence containing papers that present opposing sides of the debate. Nuclear deterrence, Britain's defence budget, the state of Anglo-American relations, NATO strategies and Mr Gorbachev's security arrangements in Europe proposals are discussed.

Taking the "special relationship" as a central theme, this text explores the public and private diplomacy between Britain and the United States in periods of war and peace. Using released archives and contemporary sources, the areas of both cooperation and conflict are revealed.
