This book examines Winston Churchill's role in the creation and
development of the Anglo-American special relationship. Drawing
together world leading and emergent scholars, this volume offers a
critical celebration of Churchill's contribution to establishing
the Anglo-American special relationship. Marking the seventieth
anniversary of Churchill's pronouncement in 1946 of that special
relationship in his famous Iron Curtain speech, the book provides
new insights into old debates by drawing upon approaches and
disciplines that have hitherto been marginalised or neglected. The
book foregrounds agency, culture, values, ideas and the
construction and representation of special Anglo-American
relations, past and present. The volume covers two main themes.
Firstly, it identifies key influences upon Churchill as he
developed his political career, especially processes and patterns
of Anglo-American convergence prior to and during World War Two.
Second, it provides insights into how Churchill sought to promote a
post-war Anglo-American special relationship, how he discursively
constructed it and how he has remained central to that narrative to
the present day. From this analysis emerges new understanding of
the raw material from which Churchill conjured special UK-US
relations and of how his conceptualisation of that special
relationship has been shaped and re-shaped in the decades after
1946. This book will be of much interest to students of
Anglo-American relations, Cold War Studies, foreign policy,
international history and IR in general.
