Abstract

This article looks at an episode which though it happened in Tunisia had a direct link to the Algerian War of Independence (1954–62), and thus propelled the war to an international conflict that pitted the Western powers, namely; France, Britain and America against each other. By the time the incident occurred the Algerian War had been going on for just over three years with the French seemingly gaining the upper hand. This article endeavours to show how this incident complicated the Algerian conflict and how the episode was viewed internationally, especially from the British Government and media perspectives both had keen interest on the Algerian conflict as a result of their own empire in other parts of Africa. The article is based largely on archival research at the Public Record Office at Kew, (England) and Newspaper archives at Colindale. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article considers how members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization are currently disunited in meeting the threat posed by the Soviet Union as of August 5, 1983. Specifically, the article shows that the U.S. Great Britain, France, and particularly Germany, do not really agree on the nature of the Soviet threat as well as on strategic goals, tactical methods, and on the kind of action required of each member. The author particularly points to West Germany's foreign policy as the real problem to the alliance's unity.
