From Ostpolitik to Reunification

"This book should interest specialists and students of German and Soviet foreign policy as well as students of international relations." Ieuan G. John, Times Higher Education Supplement "The book's major strength is the empirical discussion of Schmidt's Ostpolitik and its four central concerns: the situation of ethnic Germans, the status of Berlin, West Germany's relationship with East Germany and the twin impact of the decision to deploy American intermediate-range weapons in Germany and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan on FRG-Soviet ties."
