Ghosts of Sheridan Circle: How a Washington Assassination Brought Pinochet's Terror State to Justice
In September 1976 a car bomb exploded in the heart of Washington, D.C., where foreign embassies and diplomatic missions are concentrated. The blast killed the driver, Orlando Letelier, the former Chilean ambassador to the United States, and his passenger, Ronni Moffitt, who was a young American colleague at a local progressive think tank. Ghosts of Sheridan Square unravels how the assassination was orchestrated by the Chilean dictatorship of Augu…
A Transnational Protest against the National Security State: Whistle-Blowing, Philip Agee, and Networks of Dissent
This article historicizes and transnationalizes the phenomenon of national security whistleblowing. Challenging common interpretations that “blowing the whistle” represents an exclusive security or legal question, the essay explores the transnational connections and networks that have facilitated revelations in the public interest. Focusing on former-CIA operative Philip Agee, the article examines his exposures and wider campaign against the U.S.…
A sense of power: The roots of America's global role
In this judicious book, John A. Thompson sets out to explain why the United States came to play a prominent role in world affairs. Focusing on the period from the late nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century, this is a study of the evolution of US foreign policy and internal discussions about it, particularly how Americans debated and practised foreign affairs. It may be deeply unfashionable in some quarters, but Thompson shows how the di…
Dynamic Détente: The United States and Europe, 1964–1975
Dynamic Détente sets out to counter traditional (American) Cold War narratives about the easing of tensions between the United States and Soviet Union during the long 1970s. Rather than ossifying the division of Europe and confirming the relative decline of American power, Stephan Kieninger makes a compelling argument about how détente transformed Europe through a series of Western policies aimed at opening multiple East-West lines of communicati…
Global rules: America, Britain and a disordered world. By James E. Cronin
For a book on Anglo-American efforts to shape international affairs, Global rules has relatively little to say about the intricacies of this ostensibly most ‘special’ of relationships. Yet James E. Cronin is not offering another exploration of when and why the transatlantic alliance was intimate (or strained, as was often the case). Rather, this fine study explores American and British visions to shape global politics and world finance since the …
The United States, Italy and the Origins of Cold War: Waging Political Warfare, 1945–1950
This international history of the origins and nature of 'cold war' offers the first systematic examination of the complex relationship between the United States and Italy, and of American debates about warfare in the years between World War II and the Korean War. Kaeten Mistry reveals how the defeat of the Marxist left in the 1948 Italian election was perceived as a victory for the United States amidst a 'war short of war', as defined by influent…
Confronting America: The Cold War between the United States and the communists in France and Italy
Alessandro Brogi, Chapel Hill, University of North Carolina Press, 2011, xii+544 pp. Having authored two previous monographs on the intricacies of relations between France, Italy, and the United St
Political Warfare against the Kremlin: US and British Propaganda Policy at the Beginning of the Cold War
Re-thinking American intervention in the 1948 Italian election: Beyond a success–failure dichotomy
American intervention in the 1948 Italian national election campaign has long been a source of contention. Most scholarship has assessed the Truman administration's activities in binary terms that revolve on simplistic notions of ‘success’; the idea that American efforts did or did not affect the outcome. The subsequent tendency has been to celebrate or critique US intervention. This article traces the difficulties experienced by the American gov…

Early Cold War Spies: The Espionage Trials That Shaped American Politics By John Earl Haynes and Harvey Klehr
The Case for Political Warfare: Strategy, Organization and US Involvement in the 1948 Italian Election
This article analyzes US intervention in the Italian election of 1948 and the influence of the campaign on attempts to formulate a comprehensive, coordinated strategy to defeat Soviet Communism. The approach, which looked to utilize ‘all means short of war’, was subsequently dubbed ‘Political Warfare’. Due to the improvised nature of intervention in Italy, the US Ambassador in Rome, James C. Dunn, played a particularly significant role through hi…
