"Despite the long-running debate over the nature and significance of the Anglo-American 'special relationship,' historians have not until now had a comprehensive view of Washington's ambassadors in London. The sixteen well-written and impressively researched essays in this volume offer a fascinating perspective on diplomacy as practiced by governments that have remained close despite their many spats. This is a book that should appeal to general readers as well as to scholars and students." Frank Costigliola, University of Connecticut, Kennedy is the earliest of the 20 US ambassadors to Britain to be scrutinised by the book's co-editors, Dr Rofe, and Dr Alison R. Holmes of Humboldt State University, and their team of fellow academics. They focus on the period 1938-2008, they say, because it 'covers the lifespan of the much debated term 'the special relationship' from its birth - although not its conception - in the Second World War and its aftermath, to the challenges of globalisation in the present day'.

The two editors have done an immensely valuable job in assembling a group of well-known scholars who help to fill an important gap in our understanding of Anglo-American relations.' - Alan Dobson, University of Dundee|9780230280625|, "Kennedy is the earliest of the 20 US ambassadors to Britain to be scrutinised by the book's co-editors, Dr Rofe, and Dr Alison R.

Collectively they [the contributions] illuminate how much has changed in American diplomacy over the past seven decades '€" and how much has not. The book is also a good reminder that even the best of friends often have profound differences.' '€" Dennis Jett, The Foreign Service Journal "This is a valuable addition to the literature on Anglo-American relations as it pioneers studies of the American ambassadors to the Court of St. James's. This important volume provides an in-depth analysis of the role of American ambassadors at the outbreak of World War II through the evolution of the Cold War to the era after the September 11, 2001, attacks. Not only is it a valuble contribution to the scholarly literature in the field but it should also be of itnerest to those who study Anglo-American relations." - Ritchie Ovendale, The Journal of American History, "Kennedy is the earliest of the 20 US ambassadors to Britain to be scrutinised by the book's co-editors, Dr Rofe, and Dr Alison R.
