About this product
Product Information
English summary: Many contemporaries of Willy Brandt regarded him as an Americanized politician who won over his peers and counterparts with his Kennedy smile. As young socialist, Brandt displayed a certain skepticism towards the United States, but in the Front Town of Berlin, his confidence in American protective power grew. He felt a congenial affinity to John F. Kennedy, but as Federal Chancellor he had a more reserved attitude towards Richard Nixon. With regard to issues such as the Vietnam war and Ostpolitik, military dependence and Brandt's belief in shared values shaped his relations with the United States throughout his time in office. Nevertheless, he was able to increase his scope of action towards Germany's key partner and to preserve national and party political interests. Following his term as Chancellor, Brandt adopted an increasingly critical position, particularly towards Ronald Reagan and the NATO dual-track decision. Using a wide range of sources, this study systematically analyzes the re-ciprocal effects of Brandt's perception of the United States and his policy towards it, and depicts breaks and continuities in his relationship with America. German description: Willy Brandt wurde von Zeitgenossen oft als amerikanisierter Politiker wahrgenommen, der mit seinem Kennedy-Lacheln die Herzen seiner Gesprachspartner gewann. Begegnete der junge, sozialistisch gepragte Brandt den USA zunachst mit einer gewissen Skepsis, festigte sich sein Vertrauen in die amerikanische Schutzmacht in der Frontstadt Berlin. Wahrend er zu John F. Kennedy eine kongeniale Verbun-denheit empfand, nahm er als Bundeskanzler zu Richard Nixon eine distanziertere Haltung ein. Die sicherheitspolitische Abhangigkeit und Brandts Glaube an gemeinsame Werte bestimmten jedoch auch zu dieser Zeit seine Beziehungen zu den Vereinigten Staaten in Hinblick auf Themen wie den Vietnamkrieg und die Ostpolitik. Dennoch gelang es ihm, Handlungsspielraume gegenuber dem grossen Partner auszu-weiten und nationale und parteipolitische Interessen zu wahren. Als Altkanzler nahm Brandt eine zunehmend kriti-schere Haltung, insbesondere gegenuber Ronald Reagan und dem Nato-Doppelbeschluss ein. Diese Studie untersucht systematisch und auf breiter Quellenbasis die Wechselwirkung zwischen Brandts Amerikabild und -politik und zeichnet die Bruche und Kontinuitaten in seinem Verhaltnis zu den USA nach.

Reviews
"A fascinating book which draws on historical, biological and cultural insights in a penetrating analysis of how Americans have interacted with a major predator. Coleman's approach allows us to understand fully why we eliminated wolves from the United States, and why recent debates over wolf reintroduction have been so heated."--Robert Keiter, author of "Keeping Faith with Nature and The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (also Wallace Stegner Professor of Law and director of the Wallace Stegner Center for Land, Resources and the Environment at the University of Utah)

AOK. Item as described, reasonable condition (as described), excellent price, reasonable packing and shipping time, no problems. Thanks. (Sorry, I don't do star ratings when some are automatic, as it's unfair to buyers to have eBay pre-empt any of the scores. You should complain to eBay, as your star ratings would have been very high.) I can't rate the product until I read it. It's unfair for eBay to require a product rating in order to send feedback! The guys at eBay are heavily into control.
