Shepherd of Democracy?: America and Germany in the Twentieth Century

Publisher Marketing: Scholars on both sides of the Atlantic offer a broad perspective of the central themes in German-American relations in the 20th century and show how the current developments have evolved. This interpretive survey should help to fill a major gap in the literature covering the long-term relationships between Germany and the United States and demonstrate how liberal democratic values have been upheld. Policymakers concerned with US foreign policy and German and European relations should find this edited collection illuminating.
