THE STRAINED ALLIANCE: U.S.-EUROPEAN RELATIONS FROM NIXON TO CARTER
2 December 2009, 3:30-5:00pm
Editors Thomas A. Schwartz</b> and Matthias Schulz</b> will discuss
findings from their most recent book The Strained Alliance:
U.S.-European Relations from Nixon to Carter</i>.
5th Floor Conference Room
Visit <a href="http://www.cwihp.org"
target="blanK" >www.cwihp.org</a>
for more information and to RSVP
Using a wide array of recently declassified archival materials from the
United States and Western Europe, Schwartz and Schulz offer new insights
into the changing dynamics of transatlantic relations during the era of
detente (1969-1980). Their volume reveals why bitter conflicts developed
between the U.S. and its European allies, and how European integration
evolved less as a consequence of Washington's support than as a result
of America's relative decline and growing U.S.-European discord. Taking
into account the developments in various bilateral and multilateral
settings, such as the European Community, the Helsinki process, and the
G-7 summits, the volume's contributors show that a common alliance
strategy has always been a difficult undertaking, often the result of
bitter confrontation and painful compromises.

Nazi Propaganda during World War II and the Holocaust</i>, which won the
National Jewish Book Award for work on the Holocaust. Herf has lectured
widely at major universities and research centers in the United States,
Europe and Israel, and has also brought a historian's perspective to
bear on issues of contemporary policy and politics in his contributions
to The New Republic</i> online and in essays in The American Interest,
The International Herald Tribune, The National Interest, Partisan
Review, The Washington Post</i> and major German newspapers including
the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Die Welt</i>, and Die Zeit</i>.

Commissioner for Refugees, 1933-35, and chairman of President
Roosevelt's Advisory Committee on Political Refugees, 1938-1945) in a
series published by Indiana University Press. The first volume, Advocate
for the Doomed</i>, appeared in 2007, and the second volume, Refugees

journal Holocaust and Genocide Studies</i>, which is owned by the United

Japanese Records Interagency Working Group, which helped to bring about
declassification of more than eight million pages of U.S. government
records under a 1998 law.
