    Professor Richard Toye and Dr. Warren Dockter chart the beginnings of the wartime alliance between the United States and Great Britain and the birth of the "special relationship".



    They begin with

    Churchill's visit to Washington in December 1941, his major speeches to the US Congress and the Canadian Parliament and follow the dealings between America's

    President Franklin Roosevelt and British Premier Winston Churchill as the new allies fight to turn the tide of the war during 1942.

    "No lover ever studied every whim of his mistress as I did those of President Roosevelt."


    So Winston Churchill remembered his efforts to secure material support from the United States in the 18 months between taking office as Prime Minister and the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor which brought America into the Second World War.


    Professor Richard Toye and Dr. Warren Dockter explore the nuances and fascinating details of this courtship as President Roosevelt navigated domestic resistance to entering a European war. They discuss the Atlantic Conference of August 1941 and its careful presentation to Roosevelt and Churchill''s domestic audiences. And Churchill's reaction to the news of Pearl Harbor.
