Culture and Propaganda: The Progressive Origins of American Public Diplomacy, 1936–1953, by Sarah Ellen Graham
To the American public in the late 1930s, their experience of propaganda during 1917–19 had not, in retrospect, been a satisfying one. As Sarah Ellen Graham points out, the trajectory curved from enthusiastic public acceptance of government propaganda during 1917–19 to a strong public and intellectual critique in the years following the war, and back to a reluctant acceptance of the need for propaganda to support democracy in the late 1930s. Many…
Chancing Your Arm: The Origins and Early Years of Contemporary European History
In 1989 I was chatting to Anthony Seldon, then the head of the Institute of Contemporary British History in London, and we agreed that the turmoil and resultant developments in the Eastern bloc gave hope for the rise of a new Europe. We were academics, and we immediately considered how information and ideas about these exciting events might be provided to the academic community. What about a journal? We looked around. There were many journals foc…

The Rise and Decline of the American 'Empire: Power and its Limits in Comparative Perspective, by Geir Lundestad
The question as to whether or not the United States was an empire, is an empire, and, if so, will continue to be an empire, has, over the past decades, exercised the minds of hundreds of historians, journalists and commentators. Geir Lundestad, Professor of International History at the University of Oslo and Director of the Norwegian Nobel Institute, established some time ago one of the more long-lived conceptual approaches to the subject. This w…

Cosmopolitan Islanders: British Historians and the European Continent, by Richard J. Evans
Richard Evans normally takes very few prisoners, but in this case he has written a gentle, caring book. His overarching theme is the glory of today versus the insignificance of tomorrow. Today, the ability of British historians of Europe, with their combination of intellectual power and felicitous writing style, to sell significant numbers of books to, and thereby influence, the citizens of their chosen European countries, is impressive. Yet this…
Anglo-American Media Interactions, 1850-2000
The American Century in Europe
For many reasons, books of essays based on conferences are notoriously difficult to get published. Two important ones are firstly, that the book may not be coherently organised around a focused topic, and secondly, that the essays may be notably unbalanced as to quality. In this case, the book is tightly organised, and the quality of the contributions is more uniformly high than is usual. After a setting-out of the context (what is the term, the …

The House of Morgan Redivivus: The Abortive Morgan International 1972–73
The House of Morgan, the most powerful international banking house in the first decades of the twentieth century, had been forced to split up into constituent parts by the American Banking Act of 1933. In the 1960s and 1970s, in response to the growth of international business opportunities, Morgan Guaranty, Morgan Stanley and Morgan Grenfell made several attempts to work together. The most significant of these attempts took place in 1972–73, wit…

J. M. Keynes and the Exchange Rate Crisis of July 1917
TNTEREST in Keynes has, not unnaturally, centred on the development of his theories and their influence on policy-makers, and the years before i919 Have not attracted the same attention as the later period. It has been taken for granted that the practical problems of the war years must have influenced Keynes's development-He was, I am convinced, immensely influenced throughout his life by . . . his four wartime years in the Treasury 2-but little …
The Diplomacy of Finance: British Financial Missions to The United States 1914–1918
It is a commonplace among historians of the First World War that during this period Britain and America changed positions as dorninant and subordinate financial powers.
