Review "...succeeds...in revealing the contradictions and tensions involved in American entrance into Europe after the war." Times Higher Education Supplement "Irwin Wall has written a most welcome book on Franco-American relations from 1945 to 1954...He has written a nuanced study of a bilateral relationship and nicely illuminates the interdependence of Western elites and the convergence of their interests...He reminds us that weak nations are not without power, and he suggests that the diffusion of American culture, the culture of consumerism, may have been more important than its economic or political tutelage." American Historical Review "These broad judgements will command assent, for they are founded on painstaking research in French and American archives...important and careful work..." John S. Hill, Journal of American History "Wall's excellent volume instructs us anew that the liberal democracies, and most especially the United States and France--America's oldest ally--must hang together or they will hang separately." Edward A. Kolodziej, Diplomatic History "...Wall's fine book will likely become the standard account of American-French political relations in the early postwar period. It also offers a stinging indictment of an American policy elite..." Herrick Chapman, International Labor and Working-Class History Promotional A study of the American government's influence in France during the critical postwar period.
