Description:

The Anglo-American special relationship first emerged during the Second World War and, ever since, British governments have sought to maintain a close partnership with the United States. This comprehensive series of essays describes the role of British Ambassadors to Washington from the start of the Second World War to the late 1970s.

Synopsis:

This book is the first study of the role of British Ambassadors in shaping Anglo-American relations during the first generation of the 'special relationship'. As well as showing how ambassadors wielded influence in Washington and helped to formulate British foreign policy, it offers insights into the role of the embassy in modern diplomacy.
