Publisher's Summary:
In the mid-20th century, the relationship between America and Britain had a chequered past. Theirs was a history of protection and oppression, of rebellion and ultimately war. But then the shared crisis of the Second World War brought Britain and America closer than ever before or since and saw an unprecedented level of military cooperation. How was such a radical shift possible?
To uncover how this historically fraught relationship recovered from its inauspicious start, Niall Barr goes back to the origins of their shared military history in the American War of Independence and shows how these early days had ramifications for the later crucial alliance.
Picking up the tale with Americas entry into the Second World War, Niall Barr tells the story of these two armies as they fought in the largest war in history, from the uppermost echelons of the relationship between Churchill and Roosevelt right down to battlefield level and the soldiers fighting side by side for a common cause.
Dr Niall Barr is a senior lecturer in defence studies, King's College London, based at the Joint Services Command and Staff College, Shrivenham. Educated at the University of St Andrews, he previously taught military history at Sandhurst. He has published widely on British military history and has conducted numerous battlefield tours, including three to El Alamein. He is married with two children and lives in Oxfordshire.

A Balanced View! Who woulda thunk it?
Anyone who has read histories or biographies of WWII, is aware of the US/UK alliance in the war has some knowledg of the allianceand its problems and successes. The author traces the relationship from the French and Indianwar, through the 19th century and WWI to the various aspects in WWII.
Having read many US and Brit books, served in the US Army ad met several Brit officers, I was happily surprised at the impartial presentation in the book. It did not completely change my opinions, but gave me several insights as to, specifically, the attitudes of the British High Command and the reasons behind them. I highly recommend this book to anyone as a one voume study on a contentious subject.
