Old World New World Great Britain and America from the Beginning by Kathleen Burk tells the full story of America and Great Britain. There are two narratives told. The first is the narrative of war, statecraft, and international affairs. The author tells the story from both sides and reveals motivations for settling North America, what led to Britain losing the colonies, and why hawks in Congress took the two countries to war again in 1812. From Franklin's negotiations to the Monroe Doctrine and exchanges between Roosevelt and Neville Chamberlain just before World War ll, the book examines the entire relationship.
The second narrative focuses on relationships such as religion, cultural, and more. Included are how writers such as Dickens, Trollope, Twain, Emerson and more shaped public opinions.
