Media Reviews
"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." -- Warren F. Kimball

Churchill's Grand Alliance The Anglo-American Special Relationship 1940-57
Charmley, John
Harcourt. Fine+ in Fine+ dust jacket. 1995. Hardcover. 0151275815 . Great Value. Prompt delivery with tracking. Satisfaction guaranteed. ; 1.75 x 9.5 x 6.75 Inches; 427 pages; <div>The New York Times Book Review called John Charmley's previous book on Winston Churchill "entertaining, informative, and infuriating." With equally impressive scholarship, eloquence, and wit, Charmley now turns to the Anglo-American "special relationship" that was the cornerstone of Churchill's foreign policy, ruthlessly stripping away the myth to reveal the unsentimental reality of the Churchill years and beyond, from 1940 to 1957. Churchill carried on the war because of his misguided faith that U.S. help could be enlisted to save the British Empire, contends Charmley. President Roosevelt, however, sought an end to imperialism and thus entered the war only belatedly, ensuring that Britian would end the war weak and dependent on America. And Britian did indeed become a U.S. "pensioner"-a reality dramatically confirmed in 1956, when American pressure led to the removal of Prime Minister Anthony Eden. With vivid assessments of Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Churchill, and Eden, John Charmley brilliantly continues his though-provoking-and sometimes infuriating-ways.<br></div> . ( more information)
