Sommario/riassunto

This work provides comprehensive analysis of military collaboration between the United States and Great Britain before the Second World War. William T. Johnsen sets the stage by examining Anglo-French and Anglo-American coalition military planning from 1900 through World War I and the interwar years. He also considers the formulation of policy and grand strategy, operational planning, and the creation of the command structure.
