The Influence of British Arms: An Analysis of British Military Intervention Since 1956 (Routledge Library Editions: International Security Studies)

Which event better characterises British military interventions: the trauma of Suez or the triumph of the Falklands? This book, first published in 1984, examines these engagements and those of the intervening period to provide a sober and considered response to this question. The issues raised are central to the debate concerning Britain’s defence capabilities and its role in world politics. The author argues that it is only under severely restricted conditions that Britain could reasonably expect a successful outcome from long-range military intervention. The constraints are not merely those of military capacity: public opinion also has its role to play. By analysing these conditions and the way they have influenced the outcomes of past interventions the author points the way to framing a practical and reasonable defence and foreign policy in the Third World.

The combined effects of the Cold War and European integration have led to a radical reassessment of Europe's security needs, with security requirements now less clear cut, less predictable and less amenable to practical management.

Reichsmarschall Hermann Goering became the leader of the Nazis' economic war machine and supreme commander of the Luftwaffe. His brother Albert, seven years Hermann's junior, loathed Hitler, however, and saved hundreds of people across Europe from Nazi persecution. Despite the profound gulf between their beliefs, each believed sincerely that the other was only doing what he considered to be right.
