This is an account of the history of special relationship that is supposed to exist between America and Great Britain. The book starts its survey just prior to World War I and charts the rise of the friendship between the nations before going on to look at the Churchill-Roosevelt correspondence. It then analyzes the recent friendship between Thatcher and Reagan which was tested in such episodes as the Falklands war, the invasion of Grenada and the bombing of Tripoli. The author also examines Anglophobia in the USA and anti-Americanism in Britain.
