Succeeding John Bull: America in Britain's place 1900-1975

D. Cameron Watt (or plain Donald Watt as some of us used to know him) is a most respectable fellow. A pillar of Chatham House and holder of the Stevenson Chair of International History in the University of London, he would no doubt hate to be mistaken for a British Gaullist or a radical critic of the Atlanticist consensus. But such is his honesty and integrity as an historian that he has now given us an analysis of the history of the Anglo-American relationship that is certain to produce chortles of sardonic delight in Paris should a translation be issued (as I trust will happen).
