Rezensionen

[ADENAUER] is well-researched and admirably written. It puts the German statesman 's extraordinary career into historical perspective. Above all it reveals Adenauer the man-with all his authority and strength, his persistence and endurance and his streak of ruthlessness and political cunning INDEPENDENT
