Ken Young is Professor of Public Policy at King's College, London
‘The American Bomb in Britain is an impressive achievement and
significant contribution to the field. It is highly recommended to
academic and public libraries and anyone who has ever reflected on
what was actually special about the Anglo-American ‘special
relationship.’
H-Diplo, Joseph M. Siracusa, Royal Melbourne Institute of
Technology University, December 2016
‘Young’s detailed passages on the intricacies of deploying, bedding
down, maintaining, and operating strategic bombers, and how such
skilled and famed USAF officers as General Leon Johnson forged and
maintained working relationships with RAF and British civil
authorities on a day-to-day basis to achieve operational goals are
especially informative.’
