The "Special Relationship": Anglo-American Relations Since 1945

Book Overview

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 then go beyond traditional rhetorical appeals to common language and heritage, and consider the military, political, and economic links that bind the two countries.
