This book is an excellent example of the new cultural history school of analysis. My professor suggested it to those of us interested in the role of culture in international relations, and I ended up citing this book in my master's thesis. Robert Hendershot does a really nice job of demonstrating how perceptions of cultural bonds have influenced the special relationship throughout the post-war period. Culture makes a big difference in international relations and alliance politics - it's not just an issue of economics and security - and looking at the special relationship between America and Britain helps us to understand this better. The book is mostly about the Suez Crisis and the Vietnam war, but there is quite a bit of discussion of other areas of the special relationship as well, including nuclear weapons sharing and the British participation in the American bicentennial celebrations. If you are interested in the special relationship or the role of culture in diplomacy, you will appreciate this book.
