About this title

Synopsis

The troubled early years of the postwar period, culminating in the Korean War, led to the formation of NATO as the Western response to the threat posed by the Soviet Union and its satellites at the time. These years determined the shape of world politics for nearly half a century. Then, as now, the `German Question' was one of the main issues facing Europe to which a clear answer has yet to be found. This volume contains significant insights into the origins of this question by military historians from West Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Norway, Italy, France and Britain.
