Quietly but effectively challenging the official myth that the crisis is now past, Forsberg and Herd reveal beyond all possible doubt that the trauma that arose as a result of Iraq and 9\/11 still remains unresolved and, in official circles at least, little understood. Divorce may not be on the cards just yet. Nonetheless, difficult and problematic times lie ahead. A sobering, indeed essential read for policy-makers and academics on both sides of an ever-widening Atlantic.' \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eMichael Cox, London School of Economics\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e‘Divided West makes a unique contribution to a vast literature on transatlantic relations.
