- This comprehensive, 241-page monograph offers an extensive analysis of US-UK interaction during the eight most high-profile counterinsurgency campaigns of the past seventy years, from Palestine to Afghanistan, in order to probe the very existence of a ‘special relationship’ in the political management and military conduct of these wars. An assessment of each nation’s respective private political perceptions and public diplomacy towards the others’ counter-insurgency wars allowed Mumford to reveal a thin layer of ‘specialness’ at work, based on extensive archival work and a lengthy period of data collection on both sides of the Atlantic over a period of several years.
