Book Review

The United States and the European Right, 1945–1955. By Deborah Kisatsky (Columbus: Ohio State University Press, 2005. xiv, 237 pp. $39.95, ISBN 0-8142-0998-X).

Deborah Kisatsky's examination of U.S. policy in Western Europe following World War II fairly represents recent international histories that examine American goals during the first decade following World War II. Her conclusions are unambiguous: "Americans," she writes, "contained, co-opted or cooperated with conservative and reactionary elements according to whether such groups hindered or advanced U.S. objectives in Europe" (p. 110). In short, realpolitik dominated American actions, not lofty moral schemes such as the oft-stated ideal of strengthening democracy.
