Focusing on the dynamics of international alliances, this book examines the Suez crisis of 1956 and the Falklands war of 1982, highlighting the conflicting interests between Britain and the US, two close allies. It discusses how both crises presented opportunities for peaceful resolutions that were ultimately missed due to military actions taken by Britain against nations with which the US was fostering relations.
