Twisting the Lion's Tail

Although the years 1921-48 saw a gradual strengthening of the so-called ''special relationship'' between the United States and Great Britain, anglophobia remained a potent force in American political life throughout that period. In Twisting the Lion''s Tail , John E. Moser examines this phenomenon, showing how traditional American images of King George III and the redcoats were revived by immigrants, farmers and other groups hoping to advance an anti-British agenda.
