More Description

"Fifty years after the Second World War, Giles Radice provides an authoritative account of the new Germany and also reveals what the Germans think of Britain. Based on his own considerable knowledge of the country, the book includes interviews with and candid portraits of both leading and representative Germans as well as an astute analysis of politics, economics, culture and history." "Giles Radice considers the impact of unification on both East and West; frankly explores the strengths and weaknesses of the Germans, their institutions and their economy; and studies such issues as nationalism, Germany's place in Europe and its relations with other countries, including Britain. He underlines Germany's importance to Britain as our most powerful European ally and biggest trading partner and argues for a closer relationship between the two countries. He argues that a strong rather than a weak Germany is in Britain's and Europe's best interests."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
