Allies in Conflict: Anglo-American Strategic Negotiations, 1938-44 (Studies in Military and Strategic History)

Highlights the tensions between the American and British governments as they tried to collaborate on a strategic solution to World War II. Reveals a growing divergence of thought, an erosion of mutual trust, an awareness of cultural barriers, and differences in leadership style. Also examines the vaunted Special Relationship as a public-relations myth, and shows how the tensions manifested in such issues as clandestine warfare, special operations, and rearming the French.
