Morgan writes clearly and in a lively and accessible way. He has a provocative thesis about both the role America played in pushing for European integration, and the reasons for the current Trump administration's dramatic shift away from that policy and current antipathy to the EU and NATO.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRichard Bellamy, University College London\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\"Glyn Morgan clarifies the options for the 'American Europe' first envisioned during World War II, now that Donald Trump's civilizational rupture has put its continuity in radical doubt. The shift may take a while, and there are several possible sequels for Europeans, ranging from the global to the continental to the national. The only thing that remains unquestionable is that Morgan is our most trusted guide to the political sociology of this fraught transition.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSamuel Moyn, Yale University\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eThe Rise and Fall of American Europe\u003c\/i\u003e is a penetrating and indispensable account of the European project, restoring it to its full geopolitical context. With uncommon clarity, it advances the original argument that Europe's integration was, in crucial respects, an American creation. This insight reframes the dilemmas Europe now confronts as it seeks to chart its future in an era of heightened global competition. Elegantly written and rigorously researched, the book wears its considerable learning with admirable lightness.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePratap Bhanu Mehta, Princeton University\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"American Europe is no more.

The Trump Administration dislikes NATO, considers the EU's trade policies \"worse than China['s],\" and attacks the banning of nationalist parties. Many in the MAGA movement are similarly hostile to Europe, which they see as an overregulated museum, a US dependency, powerless on the world-stage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book explains why \u003ci\u003eAmerican Europe\u003c\/i\u003e fell from favor.
