Mary Nolan (New York University)

The Transatlantic Century

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Transatlantic Century 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 stop-start rise of American influence in Europe, its mid-twentieth century triumph and then its gradual erosion since the 1970s.

Rezensionen

'In a century-long analytical survey blending economics and culture, ideas and diplomacy, Mary Nolan brings enviable breadth of knowledge and depth of thought to the full complexity of the transatlantic exchange. Throughout their varying encounters with modernity, she shows, Europe and the United States could never be disconnected, even as the discords and dissonances have grown.' Geoff Eley, University of Michigan
