It was Winston Churchill who, in his speech at Fulton, Missouri,
advocated a 'special relationship between the British
Commonwealth...and the United States...the continuance of intimate
relationships between our military advisers, leading to the common
study of potential dangers'. Through the eyes of Churchill,
Roosevelt and their successors, Sir Robin Renwick traces the
development of the Anglo-American relationship since the desperate
summer of 1940 and the part it played in the shaping of the
post-war world. Detecting once again a whiff of the 1930s in the
air, Sir Robin concludes that, as one of the ties that bind Europe
and North America, the relationship remains an important one, and
not only to Britain and the United States. There are many on both
sides of the Atlantic who will think that the world would have been
poorer without it. Nor has the world yet assumed so secure and
predictable a form as to render it redundant.
