Summary
The United States and Western Europe since 1945 : From Empire by Invitation to Transatlantic Drift by Lundestad, Geir Based on new and existing research by a world-class scholar, this is thefirst book in 20 years to examine the dynamics of the American-Europeanrelationship since 1945. The relationship between the United States and WesternEurope has always been crucial, and current events dictate that it is becomingever more so. In this important new work, Geir Lundestad analyses the balancebetween co-operation and conflict which has characterized this relationship inthe post-war period. He examines talk of transatlantic drift, and the strainnow apparent between the USA and the nation-states of Western Europe. In theconcluding section, Lundestad offers a topical view of the future oftransatlantic interaction. Throughout this work, Lundestad's much cited 'empireby invitation' thesis is both put into practice and extended in time and scope.This book is essential reading for anyone interested in one of the mostimportant and enduring international relationships of the last 60 years.
