'This book is a very welcome addition to the literature of contemporary transatlantic relations. It is a detailed archival-based study of the Nixon administration's policy towards Europe and it presents a rich account of how Nixon and Kissinger worked to put relations between the United States of America and Western Europe on a new footing.' Mark Gilbert, Journal of Contemporary History
