Summary:A unique insight into one of the most controversial political relationships in recent history. The Falklands War, the US invasion of Grenada, the Anglo-Guatemalan dispute over Belize and the US involvement in Nicaragua - in the 1980s, these crises threatened to overwhelm a renewal in US-UK relations. Sally-Ann Treharne vividly portrays the role of personal diplomacy between US President Ronald Reagan and UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in overcoming obstacles to Anglo-American relations emanating from the turbulent Latin American region in the final years of the Cold War.
