The Lion and the Eagle: The Interaction of the British and American Empires 1783–1972

Kathleen Burk

4.9/5 (21956 ratings)

Description:An invigorating history of the arguments and cooperation between America and Britain as they divided up the world and an illuminating exploration of their underlying alliance Throughout history, British and American rivalry has gone hand in hand with common interests. In this book Kathleen Burk brilliantly examines the different kinds of power the two empires have projected, and the means they have used to do it. What the two empires have shared is a mixture of pragmatism, ruthless commercial drive, a self-righteous foreign policy and plenty of naked aggression. These have been aimed against each other more than once; yet their underlying alliance against common enemies has been historically unique and a defining force throughout the twentieth century. From America's repeated but futile attempts to conquer Canada to her success in opening up Japan – and her rapid loss of leadership there to Britain; from Britain's success in forcing open China to her loss of hegemony in South America to the US; from America's conquest of the Philippines to her final destruction of the British Empire, this is a global and epic history of the rise and fall of empires. Overhanging it is the sense of the fading of the American world order, and with it, Britain's belief in her own world role. In our uncertain times, this is the history we need: authoritative, measured and compelling.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
