This book discusses "culture" and the origins of the Anglo-American
special relationship (the AASR). The bitter dispute between ethnic
groups in the US from 1914-17-a period of time characterized as the
"culture wars"-laid the groundwork both for US intervention in the
European balance of power in 1917 and for the creation of what
would eventually become a lasting Anglo-American alliance.
Specifically, the vigorous assault on English "civilization"
launched by two large ethnic groups in America (the Irish-Americans
and the German-Americans) had the unintended effect of causing
America's demographic majority at the time (the English-descended
Americans) to regard the prospect of an Anglo-American alliance in
an entirely new manner. The author contemplates why the
Anglo-American "great rapprochement" of 1898 failed to generate the
desired "Anglo-Saxon" alliance in Britain, and in so doing features
theoretically informed inquiries into debates surrounding both the
origins of the war in 1914 and the origins of the American
intervention decision nearly three years later.
