The book offers a groundbreaking analysis of British policy regarding West German rearmament leading up to NATO's formation, highlighting key themes such as European integration, Anglo-Soviet relations, and the Special Relationship. It examines the complexities of Anglo-German distrust, American pressures for German involvement, and British concerns about Soviet antagonism. The text reveals Britain's readiness to negotiate with the Soviets on German unification, the military's preference for minimizing continental commitments, and Eden's support for a European Army.
