‘At a time of alarming turbulence in the global economy and of gloomy pessimism about the overall state of the international system, Hanhimaki's book stands as a useful reminder of the complexities and the frailties, but also of the remarkable resilience and the persistent importance, of the Transatlantic partnership in the history of the world since 1945.' -- Leopoldo Nuti, Roma Tre University, Italy‘Although a central aspect of the world since 1945, the Transatlantic relationship has lacked a good introductory text. This book is therefore a hugely welcome publication.’ -- Piers Ludlow, London School of Economics, UK
