Edinburgh Studies in Anglo-American Relations Series Editors: Steve Marsh and Alan P. Dobson Relations between Britain and America constitute arguably the world's single most important bilateral relationship from the Second World War, through the Cold War and into the present. This series investigates from different perspectives and disciplines the numerous triumphs and travails of the Anglo-American relationship and engages the sometimes fierce and partisan debates about its 'special' character, its relative significance over time and portents for its future. 'Treharne has produced an excellent and original study of US-UK relations in the era of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan. Discussion here is scholarly and stimulating. I recommend this outstanding book without reservation.' John Dumbrell, Professor of Government, Durham University 'Treharne's study is a fascinating and meticulous work on the Reagan-Thatcher relationship based on the archival records and access to high-level interviewees. A welcome addition to the literature on transatlantic studies that too frequently concentrates on the north Atlantic.' David Ryan, University College Cork, Ireland An exploration into one of the most controversial political relationships in recent history Reagan and Thatcher's Special Relationship is an insightful study that provides a regionally focused approach to the study of Anglo-American relations. The Falklands War, the US invasion of Grenada, the Anglo-Guatemalan dispute over Belize and the US involvement in Nicaragua are vividly reconstructed as Latin American crises that threatened to overwhelm a renewal in US-UK relations in the 1980s. Reagan and Thatcher's efforts to normalise relations, both during and after the crises, reveal a mutual desire to strengthen Anglo-American ties and to safeguard individual foreign policy objectives whilst cultivating a close personal and political bond that was to last well beyond their terms in office. Sally-Ann Treharne highlights pivotal moments in their shared history by drawing on the extensive analysis of recently declassified documents, while elite interviews reveal candid recollections by key protagonists providing an alternative vantage point from which to assess the contentious 'Special Relationship'. This book offers a compelling look into the role personal diplomacy played in overcoming obstacles to Anglo-American relations emanating from the turbulent Latin American region in the final years of the Cold War. Sally-Ann Treharne is a part-time lecturer in the School of History at University College Cork.
