• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Speaking at West Point in 1962, Dean Acheson observed that Britain had lost an empire and had still to find a new role. This book explains why Britain's ministers came to see that their future role would be as a force within Europe. To gain entry into the European Economic Community, a close relationship with the Federal Republic of Germany would be essential. This account of Anglo-German relations during the 1960s reveals insights into how both governments reacted to a complex issues and why a good understanding was maintained. Terry Macintyre's innovative approach brings together material covering NATO strategy, detente, and European integration. His book will redefine some of the views about the relationship between Britain and Germany during the 1960s.

---

This book brings together a breadth of documentary and anecdotal evidence to challenge exisiting theories about the relationship between Britain and Germany at a critical period during the Cold War, and to show that both countires came to recognise the importance of working for the creation of a more united Europe.
