Contesting France reveals the untold role of intelligence in shaping American perceptions of and policy toward France between 1944 and 1947, a critical period of the early Cold War when many feared that French communists were poised to seize power. In doing so, it exposes the prevailing narrative of French unreliability, weakness, and communist intrigue apparent in diplomatic dispatches and intelligence reports sent to the White House as both overblown and deeply contested. Likewise, it shows that local political factions, French intelligence and government ofﬁcials, colonial ofﬁcers, and various trans-national actors in imperial outposts and in the metropole sought access to US intelligence ofﬁcials in a deliberate effort to shape US policy for their own political postwar agendas. Using extensive archival research in the United States and France, Susan McCall Perlman sheds new light on the nexus between intelligence and policymaking in the immediate postwar era.

'Perlman offers a revealing examination that decenters Washington and instead provides a deeply researched and beautifully written transnational and trans-imperial history. She recognizes that foreign policy is rarely the result of one voice. Instead, she highlights the myriad of voices, which jockeyed for position within and among, the various government agencies, and countries. This is intelligence history at its best.' Sarah-Jane Corke, Co-Founder and Past-President of the North American Society for Intelligence History and Associate Professor at the University of New Brunswick
