Book description

Michael Hogan shows how The Marshall Plan was more than an effort to put American aid behind the economic reconstruction of Europe. American officials hoped to refashion Western Europe into a smaller version of the integrated single-market and mixed capitalist economy that existed in the United States. Professor Hogan's emphasis on integration is part of a major reinterpretation that sees the Marshall Plan as an extension of American domestic and foreign-policy developments stretching back through the interwar period to the Progressive Era.

Reviews

"As a detailed account of Anglo-American economic diplomacy in the early post-war era it has no rival." The Times Literary Supplement

"...goes far beyond description and analysis. Hogan's ambitious, closely reasoned and strongly supported argument is that the Marshall Plan...was a bold attempt to project the American corporative-political economy across the Atlantic." Publishers Weekly

"Hogan's book puts the Marshall Plan into its proper historical context, so that the view of it from its fortieth anniversary needs to be modified....there now exists for the first time a definitive study." International History Review

"With the publication of Michael Hogan's book we now have the first full diplomatic history of the Marshall Plan. The work is large in size and scope and as accurate and comprehensive in its coverage as could reasonably be expected. To my knowledge there are no relevant archival materials the author has left unexplored in the United States and the United Kingdom and he has used them well." Alan S. Milward, Diplomatic History

"Michael Hogan's learned and authoritative study of the European Recovery Program is the fullest yet written, not only in the sense of page numbers but also in the sense of illuminating important aspects of the subject that have been previously neglected." Business History Review
