This book revisits the long contested negotiation between the Thatcher administration and Nissan for its first green-field plant in Europe. From the very beginning the plant took Britain's EC/EU membership and tariff-free access to the single market as a token. Considerable amount of aids were provided to attract Japanese investment and to prevent its transfer to the continent, including component supplies. The successful launch of Sunderland highlighted improved Anglo-Japanese relations and put an end to the Japan-EC/EU trade conflict. But the price was paid by Nissan's slump and fall, and by trade unions in both countries failing to keep counterchecks on management. Brexit and the fall of Carlos Gohsn were a double kick to Anglo-Japanese relations, needing redefinition and in a drift.
