A Question of Self-Esteem: The United States and the Cold War Choices in France and Italy, 1944-1958 By Alessandro Brogi
Requirements: .PDF reader, 3.8 MB
Overview: Using archival materials from all three nations, this first comparative study of French and Italian relations with the United States during the early Cold War shows that French and Italian ambitions of status, or prestige, crucially affected the formation of the Western Alliance. While attention to outside appearances had a long historic tradition for both European nations, the notion was compounded by their humiliation in World War II and their consequent fear of further demotion. Only by promoting an American hegemony over Europe could France and Italy aspire respectively to attain continental leadership and equality with the other great European powers. For its part, Washington carefully calibrated concessions of mere status with the more substantial issues of international roles.A recent trend in both U.S. and European historiography..
