Paul Preston, Franco: A Biography, p. 522. Antonio Salazar’s photograph offered a silent rebuke to Franco for his folly in cozying up to the Axis, as the Portuguese dictator had pointedly maintained a benevolently pro-Allied neutrality, the prod- uct of both pragmatic calculation and the precedent of Anglo-Portuguese amity dating back to the 14th century. As a result, the Salazar regime, although far right-wing, faced none of the postwar ostracism that dogged Francisco Franco.

Franco would repeat this charm offensive modus operandi the following year in his interview with another American interviewer, Merwin K. Hart, in which he exhorted US tourists to visit Spain.

Victoria de Grazia, Irresistible Empire: America’s Advance Through Twentieth-Century Europe (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2005). This is not to criticize de Grazia’s excellent volume, nor other such works over the past three decades including Frank Ninkovich, The Diplomacy of Ideas: U.S. Foreign Policy and Cultural Relations, 1938–1950 (Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, 1981); Frank Costigliola, Awkward Dominion: American Political, Economic and Cultural Relations with Europe, 1919–1933 (Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1984); Emily Rosenberg, Spreading the American Dream: American Economic and Cultural Expansion, 1890– 1945 (New York: Hill and Wang, 1982); Reinhold Wagnleitner, Coca-Colonization and the Cold War: The Cultural Mission of the United States in Austria After the Sec- ond World War (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 1994); Richard F.

Von Eschen, Satchmo Blows Up the World: Jazz Ambassadors Play the Cold War (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2006); Laura Belmonte, Selling the American Way: U.S. Propaganda and the Cold War (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2008); Nicholas J. Cull, The Cold War and the United State Information Agency: American Propaganda and Public Diplomacy, 1945–1989 (Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, 2009); and Hugh Wilford, The Mighty Wurlitzer: How the CIA Played America (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2009), all of which focus largely on the outward flow of American soft power and which discuss other states primarily in terms of their responses on a reaction spectrum of submission through resistance to nego- tiation. There is nothing inherently wrong with this analytical approach—the US truly is a long-established global soft power juggernaut—but as Gienow-Hecht and this volume make clear, the US has been subject to other states’ soft power potential as well.
