Editorial Reviews

Examines continuities and changes in US--West German relations with regard to security, economics, relationships with the East, and German reunification. Essentially advocates linking the powers to preserve their interests and Western security. Fails to probe beneath the strategic surface to the core values of social change. Annotation c.
