Abstract
For Margaret Thatcher, the 'special relationship' between Britain and America is an axiom of foreign policy. At a dinner in Washington in 1985 to celebrate 200 years of diplomatic relations between Great Britain and the United States she announced: 'There is a union of mind and purpose between our peoples which is remarkable and which makes our relationship truly a remarkable one. It is special. It just is, and that's that.' The Prime Minister's brisk assertion notwithstanding, the 'special relationship' has been the subject of intense scholarly scrutiny in the last decade or so. In the process a less rosy, much more complex view has become accepted among historians.
