The alliance between the U.S. and Great Britain won World War II. But the ultimate victory of that partnership has obscured many of the conflicts-the clashes of principles and personalities between the two nations. Synthesizing an impressive variety of sources, Lewis Lehrman explains how the Anglo-American alliance worked-and occasionally did not.
