This book offers a thorough reinterpretation of U.S. engagement
with the Mediterranean during World War II. Andrew Buchanan argues
that the United States was far from being a reluctant participant
in a peripheral theater, and that Washington had a major
grand-strategic interest in the region. By the end of the war the
Mediterranean was essentially an American lake, and the United
States had substantial political and economic interests extending
from North Africa, via Italy and the Balkans, to the Middle East.
This book examines the military, diplomatic, and economic processes
by which this hegemonic position was assembled and consolidated. It
discusses the changing character of the Anglo-American alliance,
the establishment of post-war spheres of influence, the nature of
presidential leadership, and the common interest of all the leaders
of the Grand Alliance in blocking the development of potentially
revolutionary movements emerging from the chaos of war, occupation,
and economic breakdown.
