Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. One of the great myths of the twentieth century is that after the Second World War Britain simply relinquished its power and America quickly embraced its worldwide political and military commitments. Instead the two allies improvised an uneasy, shifting partnership for twelve long years while most of western Europe lay in turmoil and Russia grew more aggressive.But in 1957 Washington issued a declaration of independence from British authority. It was then that everything changed, and America assumed leadership of the new world order just taking shape.Derek Leebaert spins a riveting global narrative of Britain as the original superpower and shows why the Americans kept believing it to be indispensable. Its the story of secret ties, diplomatic quarrels and military interventions that casts political giants Churchill, Truman, Eisenhower and Johnson in a new light. In a volatile world of decolonisation, a uniting Europe and the Suez Crisis, shrewd men in London were leveraging the empires long-established resources and influence to maintain their grip on power.The enduring notion of a special relationship, rising tensions with Russia and China, and the sources of much of the worlds turmoil cant be understood without knowing what really occurred. The true story of the British Empires fall and Americas rise in the aftermath of World War II Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Postscript Books
(Newton Abbot, DEVON, United Kingdom)

Book Description Paperback. Condition: New. Derek Leebaert explores the notion that Britain passed on the baton of global superpower to the USA in the post-war era. In examining the ways presidents and prime ministers embodied currents in history including American nostalgia for isolationism, British attempts to retain its empire, and the growing dominance of the USA within the 'special relationship' he reveals a more complex partnership between the two allies and casts new light on their leaders.
