Britain and Germany in Europe 1949-1990

Informationen zum Autor Peter Wende was formerly Director of the German Historical Institute London. Klappentext Anglo-German relations since 1945 have been generally cordial but subject to bouts of acute tension. This volume by leading historians from both countries examines major political issues and broader contacts between the two societies. It suggests that British perceptions have remained coloured by fears of German dominance, aggravated by the success of the Federal Republic and the relative decline of Britain in the post-war period. Zusammenfassung Anglo-German relations since World War II have been generally warm and constructive. There have, however, been periods of tension, showing that underlying sources of conflict remain. This volume discusses matters of "high politics" between the two nations, as well as broader themes.
