Review Quotes

"Andrew Szanajda has made an important contribution to the history of the Cold War, reexamining the split between the occupying powers in Germany after World War Two. Szanajda further shows how the political system established in the west in 1949 eventually facilitated the peace and reunification of Europe in 1990." - Jeffrey S. Gaab, Farmingdale State College, SUNY, USA
