Belligerent Britain and the neutral United States, 1939-1941 -- Epilogue: Transition, 1942-1945. 330 $aThis book addresses one of the least understood issues in modern international history: how, between 1930 and 1945, Britain lost its global pre-eminence to the United States. The crucial years are 1930 to 1940, for which until now no comprehensive examination of Anglo-American relations exists. Transition of Power analyses these relations in the pivotal decade, with an epilogue dealing with the Second World War after 1941. Britain and the United States, and their intertwined fates, were fundamental to the course of international history in these years. Professor McKercher's book dissects the various strands of the two powers' relationship in the fifteen years after 1930 from a British perspective - economic, diplomatic, naval and strategic. 607 $aUnited States$xRelations$zGreat Britain 607 $aGreat Britain$xRelations$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y1929-1933 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y1933-1945 607 $aGreat Britain$xForeign relations$y1910-1936 607 $aGreat Britain$xForeign relations$y1936-1945 676 $a303.48/273041 700 $aMcKercher$b B.
