Britain, America and the Special Relationship since 1941 examines
the Anglo-American strategic and military relationship that
developed during the Second World War and continued until recent
years. Forged on a common ground of social, cultural, and
ideological values as well as political expediency, this
partnership formed the basis of the western alliance throughout the
Cold War, playing an essential part in bringing stability to the
post-1945 international order. Clearly written and chronologically
organized, the book begins by discussing 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, such as the
Suez Crisis, the Vietnam War, and the Falklands War. The book
concludes by looking at the developments in British and American
politics during the past two decades and analysing the changing
dynamics of this alliance over the course of its existence.
Illustrated with maps and photographs and supplemented by a
chronology of events and list of key figures, 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.
