Dobson's concise and readable book covers the whole of this century and employs selected historical detail to expose the special relationship in its true light and in all its complexity. Dobson rejects that claim that the US was ever hegemonical. Its relationship with Britain - over the Suez Crisis and Iran in the 1960's and Grenada in 1983 - clearly demonstrates that it had to bargain and did not always get its way. However, the two nations co-operated in every major crisis 410 0$aBritish history in perspective. 606 $aInternational relations 607 $aGreat Britain$xForeign relations$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zGreat Britain 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y20th century 615 0$aInternational relations. 676 $a327.41073 676 $a327.410730904 700 $aDobson$b Alan P.$0472231 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779966803321 996 $aAnglo-American relations in the twentieth century$9919653 997 $aUNINA
