The most recent to make the attempt AFAIK was Winston Churchill, The History of the English-Speaking Peoples, and there's a guy named James Bennett who wrote ANGLOSPHERISM more recently. As you suggest, there's a reluctance on all sides except the opposition to be completely candid about how interdependent and aligned 5 EYES is on a military and security level. It's not politically advantageous to anyone on Side Anglo to be quite that candid. Rewriting it from a single perspective would be a good book.

Antonov Airlines has any functioning aircraft left? I thought the An-225 cargo plane was destroyed.
