Even before the files of most of the state offices, the foreign ministers, and the secret services were opened, television productions, radios, and newspapers, began painting a picture of reunification and the end of the Cold War in which the people of the GDR, as part of a movement for citizens' rights, and with the support of the 'master strategist' Gorbachev, in a short time achieved its freedom and joined with West Germany to form a new republic with a bright future. The historical and contemporary truth is, of course, much more complex and elusive. This carefully researched history draws on archival sources as well as a wealth of new interviews with on-the-ground activists, political actors, international figures, and others to move beyond the narratives--both the German and American varieties--that have dominated the historical memory of reunification. In the process, it addresses some fascinating lingering questions from 1989: What led the Soviet side to agree to the reunification of Germany and the membership of a united Germany in NATO? Was it promoting, as a condition for German unity, military neutrality and an overall European security system as an alternative to the expansion of NATO? Was the government of the FRG subjected to pressure from the Soviet side to decide between unity and its ties to the West? Did the American side rule this out? And what strategies did the West and East European governments ultimately pursue?"-- Provided by publisher Unification of Germany (1990) fast 1945 - 1991 fast Geschichte gnd Deutsche Frage (DE-588)4070342-3 gnd Ost-West-Konflikt (DE-588)4075770-5 gnd Diplomatic relations fast Political science fast World politics fast Wiedervereinigung (Deutschland) (DE-588)4235034-7 gnd HISTORY / Europe / Former Soviet Republics bisacsh HISTORY / Europe / Germany bisacsh HISTORY / Modern / 20th Century bisacsh World politics 1945-1989 Germany fast Germany (East) fast Germany (West) fast Soviet Union fast United States fast Germany History Unification, 1990 United States Foreign relations 1945-1989 Germany (West) Foreign relations 1982-1990 Soviet Union Foreign relations 1945-1991 Germany (East) Politics and government 1989-1990 History fast BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 Metadata rights reserved rero zbzmon201508f beer zbzswk201509b brue idszbz Z2 ng SzZuIDS BS/BE ZB943 Z01 RERO RE61087 RE61087 RE610870002 327.54 HEIA 113864 NEBIS Z01 Z01 02 HN 43397 IDSBB B400 B400 400J5 BeM RFA 51255 NELB4001508 IDSBB 100 1- Plato Alexander von IDSBB 490 0- Palgrave studies in oral history NEBIS 100 1- Plato Alexander von 1942- (DE-588)118181904 NEBIS 490 -- Palgrave studies in oral history RERO 100 1- Plato Alexander von (IDREF)030296153 cre RERO 490 0- Palgrave studies in oral history NEBIS ZAD50 EBI01 Z01 https://opac.nebis.ch/objects/pdf03/z01_978-1-137-48870-1_01.pdf Titelblatt und Inhaltsverzeichnis VIEW pdf IDSBB DSV51 DSV01 B400 http://www.ub.unibas.ch/tox/IDSBB/006394697/PDF pdf VIEW Inhaltsverzeichnis
