American Visions of Europe: Franklin D. Roosevelt, George F. Kennan, and Dean G. Acheson (Volume 0) by Harper, John Lamberton. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780521566285.

American Visions of Europe sets three learned and elegantly written portraits against the background of the dramatic events and foreign policy controversies of the twentieth century. John Lamberton Harpers careful examination of three men and their policies--Roosevelts partial internationalism, aiming at the retirement of Europe from world politics while avoiding American entanglement; Kennans partial isolationism, aspiring to restore Europes centrality and autonomy through temporary American engagement; and Achesons accommodating interventionism, establishing the United States as a permanent power in Europe--creates a new and unique look at the "American Century" through its most prominent protagonists.
