Defiant Diplomacy analyzes the relationship between the United States and Denmark as allies in World War II and the Cold War. Cast as a biography of Henrik Kauffmann (1888-1963), a Danish diplomat serving in Washington (1939-1958), the book reveals how the Roosevelt Administration’s policy toward occupied Denmark was forced to address questions of paramount importance, particularly to Great Britain and Canada, regarding the general attitude of the neutral United States toward the war in Europe. The dramatic climax was President Roosevelt’s secret decision in early 1941 to establish military bases in Greenland, the Danish colony that became a crucial steppingstone between the United States and Europe during World War II and a strategic focal point in the nuclear strategies of the Cold War.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book on Denmark's foreign policy in 20th century
Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2004
Bo Lidegaard's book is a must for anyone interested in Danish foreign relations in the 20th century. Henrik Kauffmann, a flamboyant and maverick career diplomat, was Denmark's Ambassador to the United States before, during and after WWII: he was instrumental in securing the status as allied (while the civil service government in Copenhagen collaborated with Nazi Germany); and he negotiated the Greenland deal which has been a cornerstone in Denmark's participation in NATO ever since. The book is also a compelling portrait of Kauffmann as a professional and an highly interesting description of practical diplomacy from WWI to the post-WWII period. Well written and researched it is a thrilling and fulfilling read. (Based on the Danish edition).
