Europe without America?: The crisis in Atlantic relations

This book analyses the historical background to the current relations between the United States and its European allies. The author argues that these relations are approaching crisis point and that the post-war world of the Atlantic Alliance is breaking up. In his opinion this situation is no passing phase but rather a central feature of the crumbling economic and political order of the West. Palmer is concerned that these developments pose great dangers to Europe but he also sees exciting new opportunities. He focuses on the options available and challenges Europe to think again.
