This book is dedicated to pay tribute to my inspiring supervisor Professor Alex Danchev (1955–2016), a towering scholar on Anglo-American relations and a true polymath.
Acknowledgements
Undertaking the research for this book was a considerable challenge. I am very fortunate that many people have readily offered their help, and I would like to take the opportunity to thank them here. I thank Professor Wyn Rees for his invaluable support, encouragement and patient guidance. It has been a joyful experience to work with him over the last four years. I owe Professor Alex Danchev and Dr Rory Cormac a debt of gratitude. Professor Danchev’s willingness to accept my criticism of his work on the AASR left a deep impression on me, while Dr Cormac’s expertise on intelligence has proved to be an invaluable asset for my research on Anglo-American intelligence cooperation. It is sad that Professor Danchev passed away during the production of this book. This book is in memory of him. I thank Professor Alan Dobson, Sir David Omand, Lieutenant-General Sir Graeme Lamb, Air Vice-Marshal Michael Harwood, Professor Lucy Sargisson, Dr Matthew Rendall and Dr Peter Cruttenden, who provided enlightening comments on my resea
