The decline of Great Britain as a world power was the result of long-term economic change and two world wars. At the same time, and for the same reasons, the United States grew into world power.This book offers an authoritative analysis of the stages of displacement and the complex feelings aroused by the process on both sides of the Atlantic. A such it describes a transfer of power which will surely be seen as one of the most fundamentally important events of the twentieth century.
