America Confronts the British Superpower, 1945–1957
Derek Leebaert
Contrary to widespread belief, argues Derek Leebaert, the United States did not immediately assume leadership of the free world from a war-weary Britain in 1945. Drawing on presidential libraries and other archives, he chronicles 12 years of secret diplomacy, Cold War tensions, the dissolution of empire and the Suez debacle, during which the US gradually and reluctantly took on the mantle of a global superpower.
