5.0 out of 5 stars Enlightening and thoroughly balanced, 8 April 2004
By Kurt A. Johnson (Marseilles, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
In this fascinating little book, author Robert Kagan (author of Sleeping With the Devil: How Washington Sold Our Soul for Saudi Crude) presents the reader with a piercing and evenhanded analysis of why the United States and Europe have become so alienated from each other, and how we have come to this point. The author sees the alienation as being caused by two facts. The first is that there is a substantive difference in military power, with America having the might to do what it thinks best, and Europe finding its options limited by its lack of might. Secondly, both Europe and the United States are products of their own histories, with Europe finding its future by binding its members with multilateral agreements and forbidding unilateral military operations, and with America being shaped by its understanding that it faces enemies throughout the world that must be dealt with by force.

OK, let me say that the summary above is completely inadequate to describe this thoughtful work. I found Mr. Kagan's analysis to be quite enlightening, and thoroughly balanced. He does not look for good guys and bad guys in the trans-Atlantic rift, but instead explains quite clearly why it exists. If you wish to understand the present rift between the United States and Western Europe, then I cannot recommend another book as highly as I do this one!
