The Special Relationship cover

Leading authorities here analyze the historic special relationship between Britain and the United States since 1945. The opening chapters trace the development of the alliance and discuss the "special relationship within the special relationship" between Churchill and Roosevelt, Eden and Eisenhower, Macmillan and Kennedy, and Thatcher and Reagan. The contributors go beyond traditional rhetorical appeals to common language and heritage and consider the military, political, and economic links that bind the two countries.

'An admirably arranged collection of two dozen essays by first-raters on the Anglo-American "special relationship"' The Spectator
'a whole variety of excellent essays ... a volume that is informative and revealing.' Douglas Johnson New Society
'it deserves a wide readership among all those interested in the history of the modern world or in its future.' The Times Educational Supplement
