This book is based on the Wiles lectures for 1981 delivered at the
Queen's University of Belfast in October 1981. It is not a history
of Anglo-American relations in the century; its theme deals with
how the United States of America came to replace Britain as the
primary world and oceanic power confronting a grouping of
land-based continental powers, the position Britain occupied
throughout the nineteenth century. This theme is examined in the
light of how the process of replacement was conceived and perceived
by those groups which had the primary responsibility for the
formulation and conduct of foreign relations in each of the two
powers, Britain and America. The author, whose earlier study of
1965 of the British foreign-policy-making elites pioneered this
approach in Britain, argues the existence and continuity over much
of this century of similar groups in the United States.
