Recenzje

'In this well-crafted, learned survey of US-European relations in the long twentieth century, Mary Nolan makes a valuable contribution to international history … Nolan's work is a successful, readable synthesis. It wears its erudition lightly, is well constructed, and manages to integrate cultural and intellectual trends into the broader political-economic narrative, which is no small feat.' Gabriel Paquette, European History Quarterly
