BRITAIN, AMERICA, AND THE SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP SINCE 1941

This book examines the Anglo-American strategic and military relationship that developed during the Second World War and continued until recent years, starting with the origins of the ’Special Relationship’ and its progression from uneasy coexistence in the eighteenth century to collaboration at the start of the Second World War. McKercher explores the continued evolution of this partnership during the conflicts that followed, concluding by looking at the developments in British and American politics during the past two decades. This is an essential introductory resource for students of the political history and foreign policies of Britain and the United States in the twentieth century.
