Jimmy Carter and the Anglo-American "Special Relationship"

Reviews / Votes

But Thomas Robb shows in a clever, well-researched and incisively written book that the "special relationship" was galvanized during this earlier period, as the two countries navigated between competition and cooperation to put the alliance back on a firmer footing after years of malaise. -- Richard Aldous, author of Reagan and Thatcher The Carter Administration has often been overshadowed by the Reagan-Thatcher years in the story of Anglo-American relations.
