The assistance offered by the various staff at the British National Archives, Kew, the British Olympic Archive, University of East London, Churchill College, Cambridge University, the modern papers section at the Bodleian Library, Oxford University, the Gerald R. Ford Presiden- tial Library, Ann Arbor, the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library, Atlanta, the US National Archives II at College Park and the staff at the Sterling Library, Yale University, have all been courteous, professional and effi cient. Without such dedicated staff then the process of writing history would be infi nitely more diffi cult. Pro- fessor Alan Dobson fi rst approached me about writing this book and it was with his encouragement that the fi nal volume saw the light of day. I extent my gratitude to Professor Dobson and his co- editor of the series, Dr Steve Marsh, who have both profession- ally edited and guided this volume to its successful publication. The publication team at Edinburgh University Press have been the model of professionalism in ensuring the timely publication of the book. Colleagues and friends, such as Dr James Cooper, Dr Donal Lowry and Dr David Gill, deserve a special mention for discuss- ing this work over the past several years. Dr Lowry’s expert guid- ance on issues related to Rhodesia helped me to better appreciate the nuances that affected the course of events. Of course, any misunderstandings or errors of fact or interpretation are a refl ec- tion on me and not Dr Lowry. Dr Cooper has provided engaging conversation about the Carter presidency and Anglo-American relations more broadly. Dr Gill has read numerous drafts of vi 55118855__RRoobbbb__JJiimmmmyy CCaarrtteerr..iinndddd vvii 0044//1111//1166 1100::4455 AAMM Acknowledgements this work at various stages of the writing process and his sharp insights and questions have resulted in a much stronger work than it would have been otherwise. Of course, it is to my family and friends that I also offer my appreciation. It is to them that I dedicate this book. vii 55118855__RRoobbbb__JJiimmmmyy CCaarrtteerr..iinndddd vviiii 0044//1111//1166 1100::4455 AAMM Abbreviations Main Text CIA Central Intelligence Agency CND Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament CTB comprehensive test ban EEC European Economic Community ERW enhanced radiation warhead FCO Foreign and Commonwealth Offi ce FRG Federal Republic of Germany G7 Group of Seven GCHQ Government Communications Headquarters GDP gross domestic product ICBM intercontinental ballistic missile IMF International Monetary Fund IOC International Olympic Committee IRA Irish Republican Army IRBM intermediate range ballistic missile JCS Joint Chiefs of Staff LDC low developed country MIRV multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicle MOD Ministry of Defence MP Member of Parliament NATO North Atlantic Treaty Organization NSC National Security Council PRC People’s Republic of China RUC Royal Ulster Constabulary SALT Strategic Arms Limitation Talks/Treaty SCC Special Coordination Committee viii 55118855__RRoobbbb__JJiimmmmyy CCaarrtteerr..iinndddd vviiiiii 0044//1111//1166 1100::4455 AAMM Abbreviations SLBM submarine-launched ballistic missile UDI unilateral declaration of independence UK United Kingdom UN United Nations USSR Union of Soviet Socialist Republics ZANLA Zimbabwe African National Liberation Army ZANU Zimbabwe African National Union ZAPU Zimbabwe African People’s Union Notes and Select Bibliography BDOHP British Diplomatic Oral History Project BOA British Olympic Association Archive CAB Cabinet Offi ce fi les DEFE Ministry of Defence fi les FCO Foreign and Commonwealth Offi ce fi les FO Foreign Offi ce fi les FRUS Foreign Relations of the United States G6 Group of Six GFL Gerald R.
