In this new and forward-looking edition of Fighting with Allies,
former British Ambassador to the US Robin Renwick describes the
roller-coaster history of the 'special relationship' between
Britain and the United States first established by Churchill and
Roosevelt in the desperate summer of 1940, exploring the profound
changes it has undergone, especially in the past two decades, the
increasing disparity of power and the extent to which it remains
relevant in a very different world today.Through the eyes of
successive presidents and prime ministers, he describes in vivid
detail how each side viewed the other during successive crises,
both in the world at large and in the relationship itself - most
recently over the Falklands, Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan - and
outlines some lessons to be learned from those
interventions.Through its extraordinary history, full of outsized
characters, the alliance has shown remarkable endurance, based on a
solid foundation of common interest.With the ground shifting on
both sides of the Atlantic, and Britain's role in the world about
to be changed radically by Brexit, the special relationship
nevertheless is far from having outlived its usefulness today.
