0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract John Lehman was US Secretary of the Navy during the Falklands War. In this personal recollection of the war's conduct he emphasises a strong and mutually supportive Anglo-American relationship at odds with the emerging historical interpretation of the alliance between the UK and the US as one fraught with difficulties and mistrust.

Racialized peace? how Britain and the US made their relationshi / Vucetic, Srdjan   Journal Article
Vucetic, Srdjan Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract The extensive literature on the Anglo-American "special relationship" revolves around an observation that Britain and the US tend to cooperate more closely than any other comparable pair of states. I argue that this cooperation pattern originates in the construction of a "racialized peace" between the American and British empires at the fin-de-siècle. My argument builds on constructivist theorizations of the links among state/national identity, foreign policy, and international conflict/cooperation. Beginning with a discourse analysis of representative texts from the period leading up to the Venezuela crisis of 1895-96, I show how American and British elites succeeded in framing themselves as the vanguards of civilization and how the idea that two Anglo-Saxon entities could not fight each other in a global political system defined by race had significant consequences in world politics.

Russia will assuredly be defeated: Anglo-American government assessments of Soviet war potential before operation Barbarossa / Kahn, Martin   Journal Article
Kahn, Martin Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract An understanding of why almost all Anglo-American Government officials believed in a Soviet defeat as a result of a German attack can be reached by analyzing US and British Government sources (State Department, Foreign Office, Military, and other) from 1939-41. The sources reveal much detail about the perceived weakness of Soviet war potential, and in what specific respects the Anglo-Americans underestimated Soviet strength. The assessments were in most cases far from reality and as much about economic shortcomings as about military weakness.
