The emergence of East Germany as one of Europe's most vocal
advocates of East-West detente in the 1980s represents a remarkable
political transformation. Prior to the Soviet invasion of
Afghanistan, East Germany had been amongst the most intransigent
proponents of the Cold War, largely because of the perceived threat
to the domestic authority of its own leadership. Renewed exposure
has, however, prompted that leadership to regard good relations
with the West as integral rather than inimical to its own pursuit
of legitimacy. Of interest not only to scholars of communist
politics but to all students of East-West affairs, Professor
McAdams' study demonstrates both the changing historical
significance of the idea of d6tente, and the way in which
non-superpower states can take initially adverse circumstances and
turn them into instances of opportunity.
