Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

This book offers readers a critique of Anglo-American relations in the 20th century based on the latest literature and thirty years archival research. It challenges many existing interpretations and suggests that the basis of the Anglo-American special relationship was laid by Roosevelt and Chamberlain, that Roosevelt preferred Stalin to Churchill, and that the origins of the Cold War should be seen as a British education of the Americans to the Soviet threat. Suez is reassessed following the recent release of material in the Eisenhower Library. There is a consideration of the relationship of "mutual interdependence," and why Wilson and Heath chose to move instead toward the European connection, as well as Thatcher's reasons for preferring the Atlantic alliance.
