'Overall, the book is fascinating reading. The wealth of knowledge of the authors and their thoughtful scholarship are demonstrated through a clear and relatively impartial analysis of the history of the trading relationship between two of the world's foremost economic and political powers and the complex issues that have characterized that history. This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how EU-US agricultural trade relations have evolved and the challenges that both currently face in trying to conclude a wide-ranging bilateral agreement on trade and investment.' -- David Blandford, American Journal of Agricultural Economics 'This is an invaluable piece of work that, to my knowledge, is not replicated anywhere, even in piecemeal fashion. It should be read by everyone having a stake in the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) negotiations. It fills an historical vacuum in US-EU agricultural trade relationships that has existed for decades. This book provides the context of the past half century, and it will be invaluable for another half century.'
