Beskrivning
This book tells the story of American influence within the Netherlands after the Second World War. David J. Snyder reveals that, while American power in the Netherlands grew to touch nearly every aspect of Dutch life, that power was solicited, shaped, and sometimes resisted by the Dutch themselves.American Power in the Netherlands provides for the first time an account of the scale and scope of the US presence, and of the Dutch response to the new American fact of life. The book advances two intertwined stories: the recreation and modernization of Dutch politics, international relations, and socio-economy after the Second World War, and the role of American power in facilitating and advancing that Dutch modernization.

The product of years of research and deep reflection, this book draws on extensive Dutch and American archives. David Snyder explores the Dutch ambivalence toward the United States in an original way, showing how Dutch leaders skillfully used dependence on American power and aid to shape the postwar future of the Netherlands.
