Can Europe survive--and thrive--without its oldest ally? For over seven decades, American power has been the bedrock of European security, prosperity, and political integration. From the Marshall Plan to NATO, the United States helped shape modern Europe. But in an era of strategic uncertainty, shifting alliances, and great-power rivalry, the transatlantic bond is under pressure like never before. In Europe Without the US , geopolitical analyst Markus Wonder explores the past, present, and future of Europe's dependence on the United States--and what happens when that support begins to fade. Blending history, international relations theory, and policy analysis, Wonder examines: How the American-led order enabled European recovery and integration after 1945 Why global power is shifting toward a more multipolar world The rise of European "strategic autonomy" amid U.S. retrenchment and global crises Europe's energy, defense, and technological vulnerabilities--and how to fix them Scenarios for Europe's future role in a world without a reliable American anchor This thought-provoking book is essential reading for anyone interested in geopolitics, international strategy, and the future of Europe in an unpredictable global landscape.
