Note: change double quote marks in the title to single 'The Carter administration has often been overshadowed by the Reagan-Thatcher years in the story of Anglo-American relations. But Thomas Robb shows in a clever, well-researched and incisively written book that the "special relationship" was galvanized during this earlier period, as the two countries navigated between competition and cooperation to put the alliance back on a firmer footing after years of malaise.' Richard Aldous, author of Reagan and Thatcher A revealing exploration of the Anglo-American 'special relationship' during the Carter presidency This book draws upon a wealth of previously classified documents to reveal that relations between Britain and the United States of America were riven by far more antagonism and disagreement than is generally believed. Indeed, in opposition to existing interpretations, it is shown that even intelligence and nuclear cooperation, often cast as the most 'special' aspects of the Anglo-American relationship, were not immune from the effects of high level political tension. Thomas Robb exposes the true competitive nature of the relationship during Carter's presidency, as well as providing an original understanding of how both countries approached the breakdown of superpower détente; the subject of international human rights promotion; the tackling of common economic and energy challenges and the Anglo-American nuclear and intelligence relationship. Thomas K. Robb is a historian of international relations and a lecturer at Oxford Brookes University.
