About This Book

A comparative study surveys social, political, and cultural contrasts between Britain and the United States, arguing for closer understanding and possible alliance while diagnosing mutual misconceptions. It examines differences in national temper, education, humour, artistic taste, and attitudes toward women, and public morality, and considers political institutions, party machines, and commercial practices. Chapters assess the effects of territorial expansion, common language and origins, and the public role of leaders, and they discuss evolving standards of honesty and culture. The book combines anecdote, observation, and political commentary to map where affinities and frictions lie and to urge reciprocal recognition of virtues and faults.
