More about the book
The book explores the aspirations of influential thinkers in Britain and the United States between the late nineteenth century and World War I, who envisioned a unified English-speaking world based on Anglo-Saxon exceptionalism. It highlights the efforts of various figures, including Andrew Carnegie and H.G. Wells, to promote transatlantic cooperation through campaigns and publications. The proposals ranged from enhancing defense and economic ties to the radical idea of a single transatlantic state. Although these ideas lost traction by the mid-Edwardian era, their legacy persists today.
