Reviews

`Provides a convincing account of the complex background of politico-economic and strategic factors affecting Anglo-American approaches to the 'Franco question' in the ten years after World War II.' Diplomacy & Statecraft, vol. 12, no. 2 `Professor Edwards' study fills a significant historiographical gap.' Diplomacy & Statecraft, vol. 12, no. 2 `Perhaps the most notable of Edwards' contributions is to account for the reluctance of senior Western policy makers to acknowledge the inevitability of strategic association with Franco' American Historical Review `There has recently been a bit of a 'mini-boom' in the publishing on the subject of the 'Spanish question' in international relations. Jill Edward's Anglo American Relations and the Franco Question, 1945-1955, is a welcome addition ... she provides some valuable historical lessons about the impact of the U.S. National Security State on inter-allied relations and the early Cold War periphery.' David A Messenger, H-Net Book Review, Oct 2000. `A very interesting and enlightening book about a much neglected topic ... Jill Edwards's book, which builds on her previous work on Britain and the Spanish Civil War, is very helpful in clarifying the Western considerations about the role of Spain in the early Cold War.' Klaus Lanes, International Affairs, Vol 75, no 4, Oct 99 `Edwards has provided a richly docummented study, based on British and American archives and supported with both English and Spanish language secondary sources.' Sidney Aster, English Historical Review, Vol.115 No.461
