Anglo-American relations in the Cold War and after

Edición de la obra A Special Relationship

"The quality of personal relations between leaders has varied considerably from such difficult and prickly ones as both Macmillan's and Wilson's with Johnson to the much closer ones enjoyed by Kennedy and Macmillan and by Thatcher and Reagan. The book highlights the extent to which these personal leader relations have, however, rested on a base of institutionalised diplomatic and military cooperation." "Despite the much-vaunted closeness of Clinton and Blair at the dawn of the twenty-first century, John Dumbrell argues that the end of the Cold War, changes in culture and identity and the impact of closer European integration will make the Atlantic relationship less central than it was for the latter part of the twentieth century."--Jacket.
