American History Too!

Is there a ‘Special Relationship’ between the United States and the United Kingdom?  And, if there is, what actually is ‘special’ about it?  Those are the two questions we seek to answer on this month’s American History Too!.  Tune in for a guided tour of the ups and the downs of the US-UK relationship over the past 200 years – particularly during the post-World War II era – and come to your own conclusion on this fascinating topic.    New Year, New Format - we also introduce an opening question to the podcast! This week: If you could have dinner with three figures in American History who would they be?  We have our answers, but we are more interested in yours! Let us know at @ahtoopodcast or on Facebook at www.facebook.com/americanhistorytoo We’ll be back next month to discuss tumultuous presidency of Herbert Hoover with Alastair Duthie.  Cheers, Mark and Malcolm   Reading List Aldrich, Richard J., ‘British intelligence and the Anglo-American “Special relationship” during the Cold War’, Review
