Notes on Them and Us by Justin Webb
When Barack Obama made his first presidential visit to London, his briefing began thus: England is a place slightly smaller than Oregan". So much for the 'Special Relationship'. Notes on Them & Us is a wry account of this transatlantic friendship as it actually exists today - how Americans see us, how we Brits see them.
