The British Embassy in Washington became, after 1945, the centre for the multifaceted Anglo-American 'special' relationship. This article sketches the legacy of the Second World War, the nature of the American political system and the way the embassy was organised to operate in that system. It then attempts to identify that institution's contribution in a series of episodes: the Korean and Gulf wars; the Suez and Cuban missile crises; the Falklands War; and the fall of the Shah of Iran. It concludes that the embassy was able to exert influence - partly because of generally good relations between president and prime minister but, more importantly, because of the quality of understanding established by a succession of outstanding ambassadors. |
