Although the years 1921-48 saw a gradual strengthening of the so-called 'special relationship' between the United States and Great Britain, anglophobia remained a potent force in American political life throughout that period. In Twisting the Lion's Tail , John E. Moser examines this phenomenon, showing how traditional American images of King George III and the redcoats were revived by immigrants, farmers and other groups hoping to advance an anti-British agenda.

JOHN E. MOSER is Program Officer at the Institute for Humane Studies, and an Adjunct Professor of History at George Mason University. He received his PhD from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1995.
