andrewrobins's review
4.0
Interesting read, despite having been written almost a quarter of a century ago.
The story of British - American relations, and the "special relationship", which turns out not to be that special after all, unsurprisingly.
I read a review of this book on here which said that Hitchens makes the mistake of thinking the reader is as clever as he is.
In my case, that definitely wasn't the case, and I found myself scratching my head at some of the names and events he mentioned in passing, but even so, this didn't disturb my enjoyment of the book.
The world is a poorer place without the likes of Hitchens.
