The book delves into the tensions between the British government and Caribbean nationalists, exploring issues such as regional integration, the Cold War, immigration policies, and financial aid. It examines the complex dynamics leading up to the independence of Jamaica, Trinidad, and other Anglophone Caribbean territories, highlighting the historical context and the struggles for autonomy and self-determination in the region.

This book presents a radical reappraisal of British policy towards West German rearmament until the Federal Republic's incorporation into NATO and contains a series of major new theses on British attitudes towards European integration, Anglo-Soviet relations and the 'Special Relationship'. It places policy in the context of Anglo-German distrust, American demands for a German contribution and British fears of antagonising the Soviets. It clarifies numerous controversial issues by demonstrating British willingness to compromise with the Soviets over German unification, the British military's desire to reduce the continental commitment and Eden's enthusiasm for a European Army.
