For the second time in only a few years, France seemed to teeter on the brink—or so American policymakers thought. Having fallen to Nazi Germany in 1940, the fate of postwar France hung in the balance between communist and anti-communist political parties in the transition from the Second World War to the Cold War. The United States needed allies to contain the Soviet Union, but it was not sure it could count on France. In Contesting France: Intelligence and US Foreign Policy in the Early Cold War, Dr. Susan Perlman reveals the role of intelligence in shaping US foreign policy. As the United States enters a new era of great power competition in which it will rely on allies and integrated deterrence as a cornerstone of its national security policy, we should revisit the strengths—and shortcomings—of this earlier episode and the lessons we can learn from it.

Speaker: Dr. Susan Perlman, National Intelligence University
