Abstract: "Between 1957 and 1961, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Harold Macmillan restored the 'special relationship' between the United States and Great Britain after the Suez Crisis of 1956 Threatened to divide these longtime allies. Eisenhower and Macmillan established a diplomatic partnership designed to keep the peace during one of the most difficult periods of the Cold War. The Eisenhower-Macmillan partnership rested on three elements: the personal friendship which existed between the two men; the system of bilateral consultations which they established; and the programme of defence cooperation which they instituted.
