The 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 Author InformationAlan P. Dobson is Honorary Professor at the School of International Relations, St Andrews University, and has written widely on post-World War II Anglo-American relations.
