This is history with a thesis, the thesis being that Churchill trusted America too much and was naive in his dealings with Roosevelt, who of course had his own imperial agenda. It argues eloquently (and produces evidence) that the American President sought a "special relationship" with Stalin rather than with the British PM - hardly a very novel claim in itself, I would have thought. Eden is credited with reading the hand of history better than Churchill, and his disastrous Suez venture is treated more kindly than it deserves. It is also claimed that Macmillan and Butler - both notorious intriguers - had secret contacts with the Americans during Suez, and that these had much to do with Macmillan's succession to Eden as Premier.
