Summary
Details

Owen Wister's ""A Straight Deal, or The Ancient Grudge,"" explores the complex relationship between Great Britain and the United States during a period of intense nationalism and shifting international relations. Published during World War I, the book delves into the nuances of British-American relations, examining the historical roots of public opinion on both sides of the Atlantic.

Wister, known for his insightful commentary on American identity, analyzes the forces shaping national sentiment and their impact on global affairs. He dissects the ""ancient grudge"" that seemingly plagued the two nations, providing historical context and observations relevant to understanding international dynamics.

A valuable resource for students of history and political science, ""A Straight Deal"" offers a glimpse into the sentiments surrounding American exceptionalism and the challenges of maintaining diplomatic ties during a time of global conflict. This meticulously prepared print republication presents Wister's observations on public opinion and international relations for a new audience.
