Product Description
Set within a chronological framework, this stimulating new study explores the history of Germany from the end of the Second World War and the legacy of the Third Reich through to the present day. Drawing on recent research and newly available evidence of the post-Cold war era, Klaus Larres provides a comprehensive analysis of the most important domestic and external aspects of contemporary Germany since 1945, including the Occupation, the effects of the Cold War, and the excitements and complexities of reunification in 1989/90. Larres then looks beyond this landmark event to Germany's role within European integration, her developing relationship with the USA, the relocation of the seat of government to Berlin, and the domestic and foreign policies of the red-green coalition led by Gerhard Schröder and Joschka Fischer.
