Charmley turns to the Anglo-American “special relationship” that was the cornerstone of Churchill’s foreign policy, ruthlessly stripping away the myth to reveal the unsentimental reality of the Churchill years and beyond, from 1940 to 1957. With vivid assessments of Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Churchill, and Eden, John Charmley brilliantly continues his thought-provoking – and sometimes infuriating – ways.

Reviews:

• Charmely has not only changed historiography, but he has also changed Anglo-American relations by revealing the truth of the “special relationship.” This is a scholarship with a capital “S.”

• Outstanding review of the Anglo-American alliance from 1940-1957 and even beyond. Professor Charmley writes very well, indeed, and brings his own iconoclastic outlook to the theme.
