About This Book

A British writer's series of essays and lectures reflects on wartime Anglo‑American relations, recounting impressions from a U.S. speaking tour and examining public curiosity about the conflict. He identifies common misunderstandings, contrasts national temperaments and attitudes toward publicity, criticism, and duty, and considers practical controversies generated by the war. Chapters offer concrete counsel for Britons and Americans on how to converse and cooperate, urge closer personal acquaintance to overcome the oceanic and cultural distance between them, and advocate mutual goodwill as the basis for effective postwar collaboration.
