Historians of the Cold War, argues the author of this book, have
too often overlooked the part that European nations played in
shaping the post-World War II international system. In particular,
he contends that France has been given short shrift. Drawing on a
wide array of evidence from French, American and British archives,
he aims to show that France constructed a coherent national
strategy for domestic and international recovery and pursued that
strategy in the first post-war decade. France, the author claims,
played a vital part in the occupation and administration of
Germany, framed the key institutions of the ""new"" Europe, helped
forge the NATO alliance, and engineered an astonishing economic
recovery. In the process, France successfully contested American
leadership in Europe and used its position as a key Cold War ally
to extract concessions from Washington on a wide range of economic
and security issues.
