Summary:

The diplomatic, economic and naval gains made by the United States at British expense during the Great War were not necessarily permanent--while the Americans sought to build on these gains in the 1920s, the British resisted, leading to a struggle for supremacy. This collection focusses on a crucial period in the histories of both British and American foreign policy, examining the diplomatic, economic, financial, naval and strategic elements of the trans-Atlantic relationship.
