Award-winning historian Mark Stoler offers a complete diplomatic and military history of the U.S. and Britain during World War II. By examining the war and the unique relationship between Churchill and Roosevelt, Stoler emphasizes the unprecedented co-operation between Britain and the USA, but also challenges the standard Churchillian view of the ease of this historic alliance. There were many, often substantial disagreements between the two allies, and occasionally a formal agreement masked a continuing dispute in practice. This comprehensive history of the British-American effort offers a compelling new perspective on the intricacies and complexities of this unique and pivotal relationship. Mark A. Stoler is a Professor of History at the University of Vermont. He has also been a visiting professor at the US Naval War College and the US Military Academy at West Point. He won the Distinguished Book Award from the Society for Military History for Allies and Adversaries, and is a past President of the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations.Award-winning historian Mark Stoler offers a complete diplomatic and military history of the U.S. and Britain during World War II.
