• The contents are entirely based on hitherto unpublished official documents

• Part II presents material on the creation of the Commonwealth Office (1966) and the FCO (1968), as well as a detailed analysis of Britain's Rhodesia policy, a 1967 Whitehall assessment of the value of the Commonwealth to Britain, records of Harold Wilson's conversations with President de Gaulle about Britain's second application to join the EEC, and a novel approach to future planning based on Britain's post-East of Suez priorities.
