Churchill's Grand Alliance The Anglo-American Special Relationship 1904-57

"John Charmley is a clever entertaining if slightly pretentious writer...who has done his homework. He has only one theme in 'Churchill's Grand Alliance'--but it is a theme worth reckoning with...To offer one of Charmley's many formulations of that leitmotif: when Churchill became Prime Minister in 1940, he 'embarked on an expansive foreign policy, the mainstay of which was an attempt to deploy American power to make up the deficiencies in Britain's armoury'....Charmley's device is to stand conventional wisdom on it's head."Charmley, John is the author of 'Churchill's Grand Alliance The Anglo-American Special Relationship 1904-57' with ISBN 9780156004701 and ISBN 0156004704.
