"This is an interesting and attractive book about the Americanization of European--particularly British and German--business culture in the first half of the twentieth century. Strengthened by the documents of notable individuals, the book will interest general historians of twentieth century Europe and Americanization, and be useful to those studying debates about capitalism."--Harold James, Princeton University"In this important book, Berghahn illuminates the two special transatlantic relationships which the U.S. government and especially U.S. big business developed with Britain and Germany....

Focusing on the attitudes and policies of American economic and political elites, this expansive book draws effectively from rich secondary literature and primary sources."--Mary Nolan, New York University"Overall, the German-American 'special relationship' was more intensive and successful than the British-American one. Berghahn convincingly examines the ups and downs and the recurrent patterns of the triangular relationship that shaped the economic development of the largest economy in the world and its most important European partners. . . . In this sense, a 'triangular history' is innovative, as it analyzes the American focus from a comparative perspective and thus facilitates a distinct advance in knowledge."--Christian Kleinschmidt
