Blood Class and Nostalgia Anglo-American Ironies by Christopher Hitchens reviews the critical points of American history and politics in the past 100 years. The author demonstrates that at every stage - imperial expansion in 1898, World War in 1917 and 1941, confrontation with the Soviet Union in 1918 and 1948 - it has been the British connection that has turned the scale. He argues in related matters that the assumption of huge commitments overseas, the development of global intelligence, and the rise of the nuclear establishment - America also answered British promptings. He also speaks to the special relationship that helped shape the American scene at home with profound English influences on the hierarchy of scholarship, language, manners, ethnicity and taste.
