This is a fascinating new overview of European-American relations
during the long twentieth century. Ranging from economics, culture
and consumption to war, politics and diplomacy, Mary Nolan charts
the rise of American influence in Eastern and Western Europe, its
mid-twentieth century triumph and its gradual erosion since the
1970s. She reconstructs the circuits of exchange along which ideas,
commodities, economic models, cultural products and people moved
across the Atlantic, capturing the differing versions of modernity
that emerged on both sides of the Atlantic and examining how these
alternately produced co-operation, conflict and ambivalence toward
the other. Attributing the rise and demise of American influence in
Europe not only to economics but equally to wars, the book locates
the roots of many transatlantic disagreements in very different
experiences and memories of war. This is an unprecedented account
of the American Century in Europe that recovers its full richness
and complexity.
