Written by a leading figure in British Labour politics and a veteran of international affairs, the book dissects the idea that nations could — or should — remain detached from the ideological struggle between East and West, arguing with forensic clarity against the seductive but ultimately dangerous appeal of non-alignment for Western democracies.\n\nHealey, drawing on his considerable experience as International Secretary of the British Labour Party and his deep engagement with European institutions, writes with the authority of a practitioner rather than a theorist. Neutralism stands as a significant document of post-war political thought, illustrating the urgent debates that shaped NATO, the Western alliance, and the future of democratic socialism — making it essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the intellectual battlegrounds of the 1950s.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130526310619,"sku":"2026200010736-SECONDHAND","price":40.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/df8945ab-4e15-453c-bda9-a2237c5d5a84.png?v=1786586464","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200010736-secondhand-neutralism","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
