What is Allies in Conflict: Anglo-American Strategic Negotiations, 1938-44 (Studies in Military and Strategic History) about?

The Following Study Is Primarily Concerned With The Unifying And Destructive Forces That Affected The Anglo-american Relationship Between 1938 And 1944, As Those Involved Searched For A Strategic Solution To The War In Europe. High-level Strategy Meetings Reveal A Growing Divergence Of Strategic Thought, A Diminishment Of Mutual Trust And An Awareness Of Unforeseen Cultural Barriers. Moreover, President Franklin Roosevelt And Prime Minister Winston Churchill's Methods Of Leadership Are Compared And Their Personal Relationship Investigated. It Is Argued That The 'special Relationship' Between Them And Their Civilian-military Establishments Was A Public-relations Myth Of Varying Intensity. Inherent American Suspicion Of British Strategic Intentions Is Seen As A Major Factor Demonstrating Against It. Anglo-american Tensions Are Disclosed And Assessed With Regard To Clandestine Warfare, Special Operations And Rearming The French. Operation Anvil, The Invasion Of Southern France, Is Examined For Its Role, As The Endpoint, In The Anglo-american Strategic Conflict. Clearly, Despite British And American Attempts To Dominate The Coalition, An Allied Victory Was Obtained.--book Jacket. Intro
