1 The Transatlantic Century 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, 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 cooperation, 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. mary nolan is Professor of History at New York University. She is the author of Visions of Modernity: American Business and the Modernization of Germany (1994) and co-editor of Crimes of War: Guilt and Denial in the Twentieth Century (2002). in this web service
2 New Approaches to European History Series editors William Beik Emory University T. C. W. Blanning Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge Brendan Simms Peterhouse, Cambridge New Approaches to European History is an important textbook series, which provides concise but authoritative surveys of major themes and problems in European history since the Renaissance. Written at a level and length accessible to advanced school students and undergraduates, each book in the series addresses topics or themes that students of European history encounter daily: the series embraces both some of the more traditional subjects of study and those cultural and social issues to which increasing numbers of school and college courses are devoted. A particular effort is made to consider the wider international implications of the subject under scrutiny. To aid the student reader, scholarly apparatus and annotation is light, but each work has full supplementary bibliographies and notes for further reading: where appropriate, chronologies, maps, diagrams, and other illustrative material are also provided. For a complete list of titles published in the series, please see: /newapproaches in this web service

10 Acknowledgments For the last twenty-five years I have been reading, thinking, and writing about transatlantic relations of all sorts, but this work relies on much more than my own research. The writing of history is always a collective project, and a synthetic work like this one relies particularly heavily on the recent scholarship of experts in European, American, and transnational history. I am particularly fortunate to have had Michael Watson as my editor. He read and critiqued each chapter and was enormously patient with the delays in completing the project. Two friends and colleagues, Tom Bender and Marilyn Young, read and critiqued every chapter, sometimes more than once. They offered invaluable advice, saved me from many mistakes, and offered consistent encouragement when I doubted the book would ever be finished. I cannot thank them enough. I am grateful to Fred Block and Sasha Disko for reading early chapters of the manuscript and to Michael David-Fox for getting me up to speed on recent Soviet historiography. I appreciate helpful comments received when presenting parts of this project at the Atlantic History seminar at New York University, at the Northeast Working Group on German Women s History and Culture, and at the Davis Center in Princeton. Writing requires time away from teaching and two institutions provided that. A fellowship from the Remarque Institute at New York University provided a semester s leave at the early stages of the project. The Shelby Collum Davis Center for Historical Studies at Princeton gave me a most productive and enjoyable year with access to Firestone Library and stimulating colleagues when the book was well underway. My thanks to Dan Rodgers, the director of the Davis Center, for his support for my work and for transnational history more generally. Without help from my graduate student Laura Honsberger, this book would not have the images that enrich it. I am deeply grateful for her tireless work in tracking down both pictures and permissions. A final thanks is owed to my friends and fellow peace activists in Brooklyn For Peace with whom I have worked for the past twenty-five years. They have constantly reminded me of the real-world stakes in x in this web service
11 Acknowledgments xi understanding transatlantic relations and of the importance of combining scholarship with activism. This book is dedicated to my students, past and present. My graduate students have been a constant source of intellectual stimulation and a joy to teach. Both they and the undergraduates in my Cold War course provided welcome feedback as I developed my arguments for various parts of The Transatlantic Century. in this web service
