Klappentext zu „The Transatlantic Century “
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. This 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 rise of American influence in Eastern and Western Europe, its mid-twentieth century triumph and its gradual erosion since the 1970s. She reconstructs the circuits of exchange along which ideas, commodities, economic models, cultural products and people moved across the Atlantic, capturing the differing versions of modernity that emerged on both sides of the Atlantic and examining how these alternately produced co-operation, conflict and ambivalence toward the other. Attributing the rise and demise of American influence in Europe not only to economics but equally to wars, the book locates the roots of many transatlantic disagreements in very different experiences and memories of war. This is an unprecedented account of the American Century in Europe that recovers its full richness and complexity.

Rezension zu „The Transatlantic Century “
'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 'Nolan's [The] Transatlantic Century is a masterful work of synthesis: breathtaking in its scope and precise in its rich detail. It is the foundation from which every effort to understand the place of the United States in the economic and political revolutions of the twentieth century must now proceed.' Daniel T. Rodgers, Princeton University 'The Transatlantic Century will become a standard work on the changing relations between the US and Europe in the twentieth century. It is synthetic, wide ranging, and important.' Ruth Oldenziel, Eindhoven University of Technology 'A stimulating and readable overview that shows the complexities of the era often stereotyped as the American Century.' David Reynolds, University of Cambridge
