The British government periodically publishes a Strategic Defence and Security Review, an appraisal of the armed forces that seeks to understand and prepare for the defense challenges that lie ahead. This report is often controversial―the 2010 review, for example, made headlines for all the wrong reasons, as major defense projects such as the NIMROD aircraft were discontinued at huge cost, while other projects were maintained only because they were too expensive to abandon.

Free Download Richard Wevill, "Britain and America After World War II: Bilateral Relations and the Beginnings of the Cold War"
English | 2012 | ISBN: 135016223X, 1848859805 | EPUB | pages: 304 | 0.7 mb
The period immediately after World War II was a vital one for diplomatic relations and, with the Soviet Union emerging as a new superpower, it was particularly important for Britain’s relations with America. This is the first book to focus on the role of the British Embassy in Washington during this period. According to Richard Wevill, the British Embassy was pivotal in the fulfilment of key British foreign, financial and imperial policy objectives. Applying the implications of new archival material to the turning points of the period, including a detailed review of Lord Halifax’s ambassadorship under Attlee, a re-evaluation of the part of Roger Makins in the atomic energy discussions, and the Embassy’s influence in relation to Palestine, Wevill argues for a more nuanced understanding of the ‘special relationship’ in its most formative period. He offers a recasting of a crucial period of twentieth century history, providing fascinating new detail on Britain’s relations with President Truman as well as with Secretaries of State George Marshall and Dean Acheson.
