The New York Times Book Review called John Charmley's previous book
on Winston Churchill "entertaining, informative, and infuriating."
With equally impressive scholarship, eloquence, and wit, Charmley
now turns to the Anglo-American "special relationship" that was the
cornerstone of Churchill's foreign policy, ruthlessly stripping
away the myth to reveal the unsentimental reality of the Churchill
years and beyond, from 1940 to 1957. Churchill carried on the war
because of his misguided faith that U.S. help could be enlisted to
save the British Empire, contends Charmley. President Roosevelt,
however, sought an end to imperialism and thus entered the war only
belatedly, ensuring that Britian would end the war weak and
dependent on America. And Britian did indeed become a U.S.
"pensioner"-a reality dramatically confirmed in 1956, when American
pressure led to the removal of Prime Minister Anthony Eden. With
vivid assessments of Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Churchill, and
Eden, John Charmley brilliantly continues his though-provoking-and
sometimes infuriating-ways.
