Reviews

This book is a must read for political scientists, historians, and anyone interested in the transmutations of international relations and issues of hegemony and coherence in alliance systems. It is written in a concise, jargon-free style that makes it appealing to a larger audience. The unpolemical character of the prose and the balanced judgements add to the many virtues of this book, which offers a powerful argument, presents a sophisticated narrative, and is a magisterial, and, indeed, the best synthesis available of transatlantic relations since 1945--a massive achievement. --Political Science Quarterly<br>
