Anglo-American Relations and the "Special Relationship"

Anglo-American relations, the so-called "Special Relationship", reached a new era with the rise of New Labour and the New Democrats in the late-1980s and early-1990s. Richard Carr reveals the untold story of the transatlantic "Third Way" by analysing how Tony Blair and Bill Clinton won power and ultimately how they lost it.

Using newly unearthed archives and interviews with key players, he investigates the relationship between the administrations and sheds new light on big events such as the Good Friday Agreement in Northern Ireland, the handover to George W. Bush, and the controversial Iraq War.
