It is often said that the special bond between Britain and the USA
was forged in war between Roosevelt and Churchill. But the closer
link in many ways was that between Churchill and Eisenhower, since
it existed both in wartime 1941-1945 but also again in very
different circumstances between 1951 and 1955, when Churchill was
Prime Minister and Eisenhower was briefly the first Supreme Allied
Commander NATO before going back to the USA to win the 1952
Presidential race and overlap in the White House with Churchill's
peacetime premiership from 1953-1955. And in 1945-1951 Churchill by
his speeches and Eisenhower by his tenure as first ever Supreme
Allied Commander Europe were continuing to create the new and
stable global world order that held until now. In other words
theirs was a much longer relationship than that between FDR and
Churchill, and spanning peace as well as war. And it was the
Eisenhower and Churchill relationship that essentially created the
world order that lasted down until current times. Churchill and
Eisenhower can also be seen as a passing of the baton, from Britain
as the fading superpower to the dynamic new world of the USA.
Churchill's relationship with Eisenhower spans this transition
perfectly and is the ideal prism through which to witness this
change, in terms of how the balance between the UK and USA altered
both as countries and in personal terms between the two men
themselves.
