Synopses & Reviews
Containing Germany presents a radical reappraisal of British policy towards West German rearmament until the Federal Republic's incorporation into NATO, and it contains a series of major new theses on British attitudes towards European integration, Anglo-Soviet relations and the "Special Relationship." It places policy in the context of Anglo-German distrust, American demands for a German contribution, and British fears of antagonizing with the Soviets over German unification.
