Anglo-American Relations by Alan Dobson

Anglo-American Relations by Alan Dobson

"Focused on a traditional topic, this volume offers anything but the standard approach and treatment of the so-called Special RelationshipThe authors combine the newest methods, especially on culture, with the newest topics, including the environment, intelligence, and personal and emotional ties. Transnational history at its best!"-- Thomas W. Zeiler, University of Colorado Boulder

"Studies of the Anglo-American Special Relationship, and reports of its demise, are ubiquitous. Then every now and then a group of scholars penetrate the mist with a clear description of the diplomatic, political, cultural, and economic bond—the British and American bond—that underlies so much of modern international affairs. Dobson and Marsh have assembled one such penetrating study, useful to scholars and international observers alike, and for anyone desiring to better appreciate the most special of international relationships as it moves through the 21st Century."-- Jeffrey A. Engel, Director, Center for Presidential History, Southern Methodist University

"This remarkably comprehensive work by a distinguished international panel is a most welcome volume on the so-called "Special Relationship" that fills a historiographical gap of over two decades. It will prove immeasurably useful to both students and specialists of Anglo-American relations."-- Serge Ricard, University of Paris III-Sorbonne Nouvelle

"Based on multidisciplinary research and skillfully introduced by its two editors, this book highlights the cultural, psychological, sentimental and security dimensions of the Anglo-American special relationship, and examines the intricate bond that has held these nations together for the last two decades. Any scholar, journalist or student interested in recent transatlantic relations should not miss this significant publication."-- Klaus Schwabe, Technical University
