Abstract
At the end of the Second World War, Harry Hopkins wrote:
I know no person in his right mind but that he believes that if this nation ever had to engage in another war Great Britain would be fighting on our side … if I were to lay down the most cardinal principle of our foreign policy, it would be that we must make absolutely sure that now and forever the United States and Great Britain are going to see eye to eye on major matters of world policy. It is easy to say that. It is hard to do, but it can be done and the effort is worth it.1
